INTRODUCTORY. 

Fellow Members of '83: — Your Secretary herewith presents for 
your kindly perusal the Decennial History of the Class. Unless one 
has attempted a similar task he can never know the amount of work, 
the exasperating delays, the uncalled-for criticisms, the iith hour 
material seeking entrance, the unlimited patience required in com- 
piling and issuing such a Record. You will doubtless find mistakes. 
You are asked to be lenient and kind in your criticism. Some 
men sent no Photo. Such may be disappointed to find the old 
ones of '83 reproduced. This however is of course your own fault. 
When no photo appears it is because your Secretary had none nor 
could he get any. The photos of the Professors, et al, were arrang- 
ed by the photo-engraver, hence the rather unusual grouping. They 
were the only pictures your Secretary had of the Faculty as we 
knew it. We were unable to secure cuts of college buildings as they 
were in use. Hence none of the "Scientif Profs" are given. Wherever- 
a face is poorly reproduced, the fault is in the original photograph. 
We deeply regret that we could not get all the men. Please ad- 
vise your Secretary at once of inaccuracies, changes in address, 
marriages, births, etc , and write him occasionally of what you are 
doing. Finney and Petty have rendered most valuable assistance 
and we thank them sincerely. 

Yours cordially, in dear old Princeton, 

Edward Huntting Rudd, 

Class Secretary. 

Study 1st Presbyterian Church, 

Albion, N. Y., 

May, 1893. 



INTERROGATIONS. 

1. Your present permanent address? In what place have 
you resided since graduation? 

2. The business or professional life you have pursued? Did 
you catch "success?" How? and how much? 

3. Are you a married man? If so when, where and to whom 
were you married? If after ten years you are neither mar- 
ried nor engaged tell the Class ''why this thusness." 

4. If you have children please give name in full, date and 
place of birth, inherited traits and peculiarities. 

5. Tell us your "politics" and why? Give briefly your views 
of Protection and Free Trade, Silver, Immigratian or any 
other gfrea^s'sue you consider to be before the country. Do 
you believe i:i Prohibition as a "Third Party" movement? For 
whom did you vote in 1892? What dangers do you tliink 
threaten the American people? If any what remedies would 
you apply? Your religious aflfiliations? 

6. Have you written a book or paper, tilled aay office, or 
joined any society, either public or private, civil, religious, mil- 
itary, educational, mercantile or otherwise? Taken any prize, 
title or honor, covered yourself with dust or glory? Tell us all 
about it. 

7. Rehearse your travels, and will -you attend the World's 
Fair? Also will you attend '83's Decennial Reunion? 

8. Are you a member of some Alumni Club? If none near 
you will you noc help to organize one, and intiueuce new stud- 
ents for Princeton every year? 

9. Give any item whatever not suggested by the foregoing, 
which you think will add interest to the Record. In case the 
insertion of each man's picture in "half tone" should make the 
Record cost from three to five dollars, would you take one? If 
these are omitted the cost will be under two dollars or even one 
dollar and fifty cents. 

10. Many of the Class are so modest that they will not speak 
of honors they may have received. If you know of any items of 
interest regarding another Classmate please record them. Of 
your Classmates of whom do you see the most. 

Note. To the one giving the best and fullest answers a copy of the Record 
will be given free. To the second best an extra copy will be given. 

You will notice a necessary similarity to the questions of 1889. With your 
answers however rests the spioiness and success of the Record.

Classmates of "83:" 

Priuceton's strong, steady, vigorous growth ivjoiees us. Over 
1100 students this year. 20.) Freshnien. Why such progress? 
First Because she deserves it. She stands among the foremost 
for broad, thorough Christain scholarship. Second. Because 
her Alumni are loyal, wide-awake, and organized. To foster 
this devotion and inspire more enthusiasm is our privilege to- 
day. Heuce let's all go back to "Nassau Hall" in June, '93 and 
see and hear for ourselves. When we get there we want a "De- 
cennial Class Recoi'd full, complete, the "best yet" to greet us. 
It will be there if you'll help make it. Otherwise it will not. 
The Secretary cannot compile it unless you resj.ond at 07ice to 
the enclosed questions. He is a busy man, but will gladly do 
the work, ifeverij one will help, and tiiat 'promptly. Your delay 
may seem a slight thing to you, but it may result in no record at 
the Decennial Reunion. The class asks thatevery man send his 
latest taken photograph to the Secretary. If you have none, 
have one taken at once. If not too costlj' each face will be re- 
produced in smaller size opposite each man's history. This will 
make a most interesting and valuable Class Record. It may be 
the last until 1908, our 25th reunion. Commencement of 1898 
promises to be a notable one. The new ' Alexander Commence- 
ment Hall" will be opened. Eminent Woi-ld's-Fair visitors will 
be in Princeton. "83's Memorial Law and Political Science Al- 
cove for the Library" will be given to the College: The "Class 
Cup" will be awarded, and last but not least; "83 will own the 
town." Let every man plan to be there. 

The assistance of Messrs. Petty, Finney and others will insure 
a first class Record. 

Again let me say — Please send the answerr to the questions at 
once., surely not later than Dec. 1st to 
Yours Faithfully, 

The Class Sec'y, Albion, N. Y. 

P. S. Note. The last answers were sent in May Ifith. No 
wonder it is didicult to issue a Record on time. 



EXTRA NO. 1. 

The Manse, 1st Pres. Church. 

Albion, N. Y., Feb. 14, 1893. 
Classmates: Here's a Valentine for You. 

It is time I gave vent to a little friendly indignation. Less 
than one-third of the class have forwarded the necessary data 
for compiling our Decennial Record. You are one of the delin- 
quents. 

The class ask me to have it ready for our Reunion, June 12th 
or 13th. Unless you respond at once, I cannot hope to have it 
ready. Send your Photo at once. 

The Record will be remarkably low, considering material in 
it. Pi'obably under $3. It will have cuts of College Buildings, 
&c., and as many of the class as will send me a Photograph at 
once. Then we need to know whether you expect to be there 
to arrange with the caterer as to the number to provide for. 

Even though you are indifferent to class and College interests, 
brace vip, and remember that the others are loyal and enthus- 
iastic over Princton's noble past, splendid and prophetic pres- 
ent and wonderous possible future. The omission of your per- 
sonal record, weakens the whole record. 

You owe a loj^alty to your Secretary. He has but limited 
time to devole to this, for just now he has an immense amount 
of work. Quit fooling and delay, and answer him immediately, 
ere you leave your desk. 

Add to your history a discussion of the Tariff vs. Free Trade. 
The Currency, the Prohibition or Liquor Issues, the dangers 
threatening our Kation, &c., &c.. 

One Word — Please send to Roberts at once SOME gift for the 
Memorial. 30 men have given $3000. What of the other 80? 
Much or little, give something. 

Your far-too-good-natured Sec'y, 

N. B. — Please return the copy of these questions, &c., with 
your reply.

Ag:ne\v, Hulbert.* 

Since telling the story of his exper- 
ience, Bert has spent acheckered career 
in his medical profession. His address 
is No. 1933 Park Ave., Philadelphia, 
and he tells us his story as follows: 
"Upon the advice of medical advisers I 
shall spend the next year or two in 
Asheville, N. C, hoping to rebuild a 
constitution which has been severely 
lacked by several attacks of illness. 
I am a physician and have the usual 
prospect of an average pill pedlar; 
am neither engaged nor married, 
being a firm believer in the old doctrine 
that when my affinity turns up I will 
by some means catch on; some of us 
must remain bachelors and I may be 
among the number " Theoretically, 
Agnew is a Presbyterian, a Republican 
and a high tariff man. After a success- 
ful competitive examination, Bert was 
chosen resident physician in the Pres- 
byterian Hospital. One of the pleas- 
antest of recollections in meeting class- 
mates was the five days spent with 
Garmany at his chai'ming home in Sa- 
vannah. "If you ever go south," he 
says, "hunt up Garmany; he will treat 
you royally." Just here Bert discloses 
a secret. He says one of the prettiest 



girls in Ohio says she is engaged to 
Billy Trainer. Happy Billy. On ac- 
count of ill health Bert has visited 
nearly every health resort from Maine 
to California. 

Late reports say that Agnew is very 
sick with consumption. We trust it is 
a mistake. 

Agne\\% William P.* 

After studying law for a time, Billy 
discovered that he could not be United 
States Senator from iNew York State 
for the present, and so went West to 
enter the railroad business as a prepar- 
ation ere he should succeed Chauncey 
M. Depew as president of the N. Y. C. 
R. R. Co. For the year beginning 
October, 1887, Billy was in Detroit in 
the employ of the Michigan Car Com- 
pany. He was later in the auditor's 
office at St. Paul. Minn., of the North- 
ern Pacific R. R. Co. Billy thinks he 
is still large enough himself not to need 
a better half which might make a com- 
plete whole. He is a Republican and 
Presbyterian, and continues loyal to 
Princeton and '83. Under date of April 
19, 1890, Billy writes that he has return- 
ed to New York City. Address care of 
Union League Club.

Alexander, Henry A. 

Henry is a generous and loyal son of 
'83 and writes us briefly as follows: 
Since the last class record was publish- 
ed I have changed my base of opera- 
tions and I am now engaged in the 
practice of law in Paris. Address at 17 
Rue Scribe. I am in charge of the de- 
partment of American Law in the 
largest law office here and I am at pres- 
ent the acting Counsel to the United 
States Legation here in the absence of 
Mr. Henry C. Hall whose place I have 
taken, he having been obliged to leave 
Paris for a year on account of ill health. 

I am married and have one child, a 
girl. Age four years. I am as I have 
always been and I hope always will be 
a Presbyterian and a Republican. I 
have had the pleasure during the last 
summer of seeing the genial face of 
Ollie Harriman in this gay capital 
Craig Colt too, was a familiar sight to 
me as he sauntered along the boule- 
vards conquering all by the majesty of 
his bearing. Ollie, Craig and 1 had 
several reunions together at which 
memories of dear old eighty three wen* 
always present. I hope to be present 
at the dicennial dinner, but should I 
not be able to be there in person yet in 
spirit will I wish God speed to Prince- 
ton and her sons of eighty-three. Any 
of the fellows who come to Paris will 
be sure of a most hearty welcome at 
the above address. I still speak 
English without an accent and do not 
yet wax my mustache or perfume my 
hair. Remember the latch string al- 
ways hangs out to '83. 

Antritn, Isaac E. 

Verily it is good to hear from good 
natured old Buck Antrim again. His 
Photo shows that he has grown thin 
from "Consumption." Hear ye him: 

Dear Rudd: Patience is surely a vir- 
tue in your case. I therefore will not 
try it any longer, but will proceed to 
answer your questions at once. 



1st. My permanent address is Bor- 
dentown, N. J. Since graduation have 
resided in Mount Holly where I studied 
for the law, (not to be ambiguous, I 
mean the law). Have resided in Borden- 
town since 1888, and will probably re- 
main here until there is a separation of 
this ego from the prison house. Surely 
an exile from Princeton ought to be 
able to pass his life where Joseph Bona- 
parte, when exiled from France, found 
comfort and enjoyment. Success in a 
measure has been mine. You ask how. 
My answer is that I threw salt upon its 
tail, which enabled me to catch hold 




ISAAC E. ANTRIM. 

thereof. I am still holding on to the 
feathers But as it requires the use of 
both hands, and as marriage would 
necessitate the loss of one hand, you 
will readily understand that I am not 
married and be able to see the reason 
of my singularity. In politics, I am a 
democrat, because the principles enun- 
ciated in the National Democratic 
platform of 1892 are in harmony with 
my views. Accoi'ding to the accepta- 



-12- 



tious of the terms free trade and pro- 
tection, I do not wish to be classed as a 
champion of either. I believe in a 
tariff for revenue only. Taxation is 
only justifiable for public purposes, the 
tariff is a tax: Therefore a tariff im- 
posed to promote and suj)port private 
enterprise, interest being limited by 
the needs of government, is unconstitu- 
tional and void. Furthermore, I be- 
lieve that the amount necessary to be 
raised to carry on this government, will 
furnish all the protection needed to 
protect our manufacturers from foreign 
competition. I am against the policy 
of the free coinage of silver. I think 
immigration is one of the great issues 
befoi^e the country, and one which 
threatens our institution^. Our recent 
experience with the "mafia" and anai'- 
chists prove that there must be legis- 
lation made against indiscriminate 
immigration. I believe that no im- 
migrant should be admitted into this 
country until he subscribes to an oath 
of his intentions of becoming an Am- 
erican citizen. I would exclude nations 
of those countries, whom time has 
proven incapable of assimilating them- 
selves to our customs and institutions 
I do not believe in prohibition as a 
party movement. It interferes with one 
of the absolute rights of man: personal 
liberty. Have not written any book 
or paper except law briefs. Am a 
member of Mount Moriah Lodge No 
28 of F. and A. M. and also of Mount 
Moriah Chapter No. 29 of R. A. M. 
For two years have been President of 
the "Kain Fei'fect Washing Machine 
Co" a corporation of N. J. capital 
$50,000. The only traveling I have 
done was to Chicago in June 1892, when 
I helped nominate Grover Cleveland. 
Saw Laury Riggs in the convention 
hall. Called to see Jim Harlan but he 
was out. Think I shall attend the 
World's Fan- in order to avoid 



questioning for life, why I did not. 
Am unable to say whether I shall at- 
tend the decennial reunion. I send you 
a Photo and should it not break the 
plate, yon may insert it in the record. 
Thinking that I have written more than 
you will care to read, and apologizing 
for my procrastination. 

Annin, William A. 

Billy continues to grow younger as 
he gets older, and more frivolous as he 
settles down in life, as witness the fol- 
f owing: 

1 & 2. For a year after graduating 
I accumulated a fortune (of experience) 
in dealing ont book-lore a la Socratic- 
peripatetic method. Finding that too 
exciting I settled down to the less ro- 
mantic and more lucrative business of 
teaching school. I gave myself the 
office of Major and taught Militai'y 
Tactics in Kemper School at Boonville, 
Mo. My company drilled so well that 
I was thought to be a" sure 'nuff West 
"Pointer." After two years' w^ork my 
head was resting so uneasy with its 
crown that I was obliged to abdicate; 
then too, four years away from Prince- 
ton seemed long enough, so I trotted 
back to Princeton in the fall of '87 to 
eat humble pie in the Theological Sem- 
inai'y. The pie they gave me there 
didn't lie well on my Theological stom- 
ach and I was forced to resign again 
(i. e. the pie —ugh!). After graduating 
from Princeton Seminary I was offered 
a position here in the Kemper Family 
School again and accepted and here I 
am teaching "Orators Manual," Young's 
"Lessons in Astronomy" and "amo, 
amas, amamus." 



—13— 



3 & 4. Uniuarried. The only reason 
I can imagine why any girl should be 
unwilling to marry me is a modest 
shrinking on her part from assuming 
the tremendous responsibility of help- 
ing me manage my vast fortune. 




WILLIA^I A. ANNIN. 

5. I am a thorough-going Republi- 
can and Protectionist; think Harrison 
gave the country a splendid adminis- 
tration and am sorry the country has 
made the mistake of not giving him a 
second term. The root of all dangers 
threatenmg our country, whether re- 
ligious, political or social, is ignorance. 
The remedy of course is thorough and 
well rounded education. The right 
will prevail. 

6. Oh don't! I'm too mode^it. 

7. May get as far east as Chicago 
this summer but no farther. 

8. I'm a member of the St. Louis 
Alumni Club. 

Archer, James J.* 

As usual, Jim is six months behind in 
his answers, but none the less loyal 
when they arrive. The brilliant law- 



yers of Bel Air, Md., find it hard to 
compete with Jim. He is a Cleveland 
Democrat, and hence suggests the in- 
ference that "he belongs to no religious 
denomination." Has seen Joe Bratton, 
Colt, Duane and Peace frequently. Jim 
tells us what Joe seems too modest to 
disclose, that he (Joe) is engaged. 
Flip's numerous engagements are now 
an old story, but his frequent promo- 
tions in tile P. R. R. Co. show that he 
is doing good work. Of college days 
Jim thus soliloquizes: "I often look 
back on the years we spent together at 
Princeton and believe they were and 
will cont nue to be the happiest of my 
life. Such friendships as we formed 
then can never be foi'med again, for 
the world has changed us all." 

Baker, Thomas A. C* 

Tommy and Frank Conover find so 
much pleasure in one another's society 
in their secluded "ranch life" in Rich- 
land Springs, Texas, that they have 
not deigned to communicate with the 




THOMAS A. C. BAKER. 



—14- 



rest of their classmates. We learn that 
they are doing well and hope they may 
one day endow a chair of Agriculture 
in Old Nassau. 

Baldwin, Joseph E.* 

Joe metaphorically puts his feet up 
on his "Reunion Balcony," lights a 
cigarette, and puffs away as follows: 

My dear Rudd: I hope you will par- 
don my not answering your previous 
notice, at the same time there is so 
little to say that my not doing so would 
have but little effect upon the record. 

1. My present address is 332 Palisade 
Ave. Yonkers and have also resided in 
Palatka, Fla. See Sexennial Record. 

2. Law and have no fault to find. 

3. Married Dec. 30, '85 to Mary E. 
Jewell at Lambertville, N. J. 

4. Have had the misfortune to lose 
two children. We now have one child, 
a girl, Marjorie Jewell B., born Feb. 
27, '92 at Palatka, Fla. 

5 Republican. 

6. Nothing but County or Probate 
Judge in Putnaw Co , Fla. for four 
years. 

7. Expect to attend both Fair and 
Reunion. 

8. Intend to join the New York 
Alumni Club. 

6- I will take a copy of the record 
containing pictures 

Will have a photo taken and send it. 

I hope, if you ever find yourself in 
the neighborhood of Yonkers, that you 
will bring yourself, your family, if you 
are so fortunate as to have one, and 
your grip, to my home and stay as long 
as you can. We have lots of welcome 
and lots of room. Every now and then 
Crouse drops in. 

Bedle, Bennington R.* 

Benny is quietly getting rich at the 
Stock Exchange in Wall street, New 
York City, and his New York address is 
3 Broad St. He can be foimd at his old 



home, No. 473 Jersey Avenue, Jersey 
City. His answers to the Record ques- 
tions are very brief, and we find him 
a Presbyterian, Cleveland Democrat, a 
High License and Moderate Protection 
man. His story is more fully told in 
the last record. 

Bonbright, Chas.. H.* 

No word has been received from 
Bonny so we imagine he is well at Des 
Moines, Iowa. 

Borgmeyer, Clias. L. 

The Hon. C. L. has blossomed out as 
a full blown editor and now Jersey 
Justice is discussed by him in "The 
New Jersey Law Journal." On the 
letter head we find that it is published 
by "Houeyman & Co. at Somerville, N. 
J.," so it must be easy to secure mater- 
ial for Ids journal by making a "honey- 





OHAS. L. BORGMEYER. 

man" on some similar paper. He has 
also attained eminence in Newark as a 
member of the law firm of A. Q. Keas- 



—15— 



bey & Sons, No. 802 Broad Street. Of 
his marriage the Trieuuial tells. His 
one daughter is Miss Henrietta de Clerq 
Borgmeyer and at their home among 
the "red mud suburbs of Rahway" 
they welcome old friends. "Borgy, " 
with others, organized a corporation in 
June, 1890, for the purpose of transact- 
ing all kinds of legitimate business. 
Capital stock $50,000,000.00; paid up 
$15,000.00. "Borgy" and "Lord John" 
aim high. Let us hope they will hit 
the mark. 

Later. Borgy sends his photo with 
characteristic modesty and wants that 
inserted but fails to write any message 
to the class. 

Bratton, Joseph Yancy.* 

Joe has been one of the most success- 
ful of '83 men. In addition to the full 
report in the Triennial Record, he adds 
a few facts which we append in the or- 
der given; "Four years in Baltimore, 
Md., two years in Elliott City, Md. My 
address is, Baltimore, Md. care B. & 
O. R. R. Can report some progress. 
Single. Too poor to be married. [We 
hear later Joe is married. See class mar- 
riages.] Belong to no church. Presbyte- 
rian affinities. Democrat. Am not a 
Protectionist, but favor a High License, 
tariff for revenue only, a follower first, 
last, and all the time of Cleveland for 
whom I voted in 1884 and 1888. Have 
written no book or paper, only items 
and editorials incidental to my profes- 
sion. Have attained no honor. For a 
year and a half was editor of the EUi- 
cott City Times, a weekly newspaper; 
was Q.\ly editor of the Baltimore Morn- 
ing Herald for a few months and at 
different times have been telegraph 
editor, state editor and assistant city 
editor of the Baltimore Sun, the last 
named position furnishing me my live- 
lihood for some time. Have sent 
three men to Princeton who have taken 
high positions. A fourth failed to en- 
ter." 



Brodhead, Rev. Claude Ross. 

After all, the modest retiring men of 
our class, were among those of the 
truest worth.— Claude is quietly moving 
towards the front ranks in the ministry, 
and the only way for him to do this 
completely is by "doubling up." — 
Claude is so happy because of his ap- 
proaching marriage in June, that we

almost fear we shall not see him at the 
re-union. He suggests that Billy An- 
nin is going to do the same soon. He 
writes Ijriefly thus from Eagleville. Pa. 
My Dear Ed: I have hardly any- 
thing of interest to tell you for the 
Record. I am about twenty miles 
from Philadelphia, in one of the fairest 
sections of the Keystone State, and the 
minister of one of the kindest and old- 
est congregations in our denomination. 
I catch sight of Dickinson now and 
then, who, by the way, drives a splendid 
horse, and does not look a day older 
than when he entered College; neither 
does Flip Duane, who is as cheery as 
ever. I must look aged, since Jim Har" 



—16— 



Ian a year or two ago asked me wheth- 
er I ever saw Brodheacl. You fellows 
who entered College so young are to be 
envied! I expect soon to cover myself 
with lots of '■^ glory V So does Annin! 
But 'tis too soon to talk about it. 

My best wishes for every member of 
the Class. Is the football team waiting 
for '83's sons to wallop Yale? It looks 
like it. 

Bryant, Henry G. 

Bryant has been making fame for him- 
self at an enviable rate, and has already 
gained renown in the Scientific world 
and in the lecture field, as the result of 
his remarkable discoveries in Labrador. 
If in Examination hall of old he had 
covered as much paper and had done 
it as well as he does his class letter, he 
would have put Pere Landis and Preach 
Hawes and some of the rest of us down 
a peg. We abbreviate as follows: In 
the now almost completed decade since 
graduation, I have lived right along in 
Philadelphia where my address is 2013 
Walnut St. As stated in last record, I 
studied law, graduated from the Law 
School of the University of Pennsylvan- 
ia and was admitted to practice in July 
1886. Soon after I became secretary 
of the Edison Electric Light Co., of this 
city, which position I resigned after 
about a year and a half's service. I 
have never engaged actively in the pur- 
suit of "success" in the legal profession 
but have done considerable legal work 
in connection with private business. 

Being a Pennsylvanian, born and 
bred and surrounded all my life with 
the evidences of material prosperity in 
the community — a result of protection 
to home industries — I have been a Re- 
pablican all my life, although I did'nt 
vote for Quay's man Delamater in the 
last election for Governor. As a result 
of my profound and statesmanlike re- 
flections on the subject, I think the un- 
controlled and increasing immigration 
of ignorant foreigners, which is per- 



mitted by our laws — is one of the very 
imminent dangers which threaten the 
American people. 

I "train" with the Presbyterians as 
heretofore and it is a satisfaction to 
know that the sturdy, Scotch — Irish 
element of American life represented 
hy this faith will always present a bul- 
work against the dangerous socialistic, 
foreign element above refered to . 

The only "paper" I have written 
which has been given any conspicious 
publicity is an article entitled "The 
Grand Falls of Labrador" which ap- 
peared in the September issue of the 
Century Magazine for 1892. This gives 
a popular account of an expedition 
which I conducted into the interior of 
Labrador in the summer of 1891. I 
have the material at hand for making 
a more detailed account, embodying 
some of the scientific results of the trip, 
and preadventui'e in the future, this 
may see the light of day. I must con- 
fess, a number of trips to Europe and 
to the untravelled parts of the Rocky 
Mountains, together with the more 
ambitious undertaking in Labrador last 
year, have infused into me something 
of that traveller's fever of unrest about 
which we have all heard. And so 
when I was asked to accompany the re- 
cent Arctic Expedition for the relief of 
Lieut. Perry, and was offered the posi- 
tion of second in command of the party, 
I could not refuse such an opportunity 
to visit so interesting a part of the 
world. The enterprise attracted much 
attention from the newspapers at the 
time, and you are doubtless acquainted 
with the outcome of the expedition, 
which returned to Philadelphia on June 
23d last, after accomplishing the main 
objects had in view. 

To give categorical answers to some 
of your other questions, let me say:

Butler, W. \V. * 

This beloved member of our Class 
died suddenly at the Arlington Hotel 
Augusta, Ga. Nov. 29, 1891. He was a 
Son of U. S. Senator M. C. Butler from 
S. C. Ben had gained prominence in 
So. Carolina from his law practice, and 
his integrity and ability recognized. 
We insert his sexennial letter. 

He then wrote: "Have resided in 
Washington, D. C; Liverpool, England; 



Bordeaux, France; and Edgefield C. H.,

Grover Cleveland. Corresponded for a

ten a pamphlet on 'U. S. Consular Ser- 
vice.' Have ligiH-ed as an officer in 
several military companies, being at 
present captain of a crack cavalr}' coni-

and some of my Yankee friends would 
construe as being 'Midniglit Raiders' 
or a 'Ku Klux Kiau.' Being at present 
a farmer on a small scale am covered 
more or less with dust. When I reaj) 
the harvest, will invest myself with the 
glory." How signillcant thcjse last 
words as related to his jjeaceful death. 

Carman, Prof. Albert P. 

We all felt sure that Bert would 
make a place of honor and usefulness 
for himself, and it is a cause of no 
little pride to the class to have two of 
its members on the Faculty of "Lelaud 
Stanford Uuiyersity," Fred Perrine be- 
ing the other member: altho' Fred has 
only very recently gone there. Car- 
man has frequently during these ten 
years given evidence of his loyalty to 
and interest in the class, and his letter 
breathes that same spirit. He tells his 
story thus : ' 

My dear Rudd: Is it possible that 
ten years have gone since Jim Russell 
was around for answers to the "Nassau 
Herald" questions? Your list for the 
Decennial Record received on Monday 
was a very tangiijle reminder of the 
vay time lias been slipping away. I 
have unfortunately mislaid the ques- 
tions and fear they are permanently 
lost but I will answer as I remember 
them. 

My present address is Palo Alto, Cal. 
Since graduation I have lived four 
years in Princeton as Fellow Instruct- 
or and Tutor; two years in Berlin, Ger- 
many as a student: three years at Pur- 




PROF. ALBEKT P. CAKMAN. 

due University, LaFayette, Indiana, as 
Professor of Physics and applied Elec- 
tricitj^: and since last Sept. here at 
Palo Alto. I have held to my line of 
physics, with specialties in applied 
electricity and mathmatic:il physics. 
I have a good position, a chance to 
work and learn in my line, with a rea- 
sonable salary. Of coui'se a Professor's 
life is not one making any great din in 
the world, nor winning stacks of gold. 
I am still single and have no announce- 
ments to make. 

In politics I am not on rlx'ord this 
yoar nor four years ago, on account of 
losing my vote by change of residence 
But I am a "moderate-tarilf Republican 
if such a combination is pctssible. I 
have been separated from Princeton 
men, but I still keep my interest and 
have been the means of sending one or 
two advanced students to Prof. Brack- 
ett. I expect to be East in 1893 and if 
I can reach Princeton in time will be 
at the reunion. Send me a Record 
with pictures and bill.

Carter, E. B. 




E. B. CAKTEK. 

In true charavcteristic brevity and 
pure English, Carter announces the 
truism that ' Cleveland is the Stuff." 
He takes this view as an unmarried 
man living in Henderson, Md. at "the 
same old place" and is said to be "the 
same old Carter." He wants 100 cents 
on a dollars and says the government 
should not store uncoined silver. He 
wants better "quality" in immigration. 
Thinks "Prohil)ition does not work at 
election times." He sees no dangers 
threatening the American people. Says 
he seldom sees an 'S3 man and so loves 
to hear from them, that he has not 
given a cent yet to the memorial com., 
lest they stop sending hiiu their delight- 
ful letters. Of business ti'ansactions 
with '83 he says — "Got a letter a few 
days ago from Kiggs — haven't seen hisn 
for years though, — offering me a bar- 
gain in a manufacturing establishment 
he bought out five or six years ago. I 
suppose he had just come to the con- 
clusion he would never have time to 



start it up himself." As Carter always 
turns up at Reunions we shall probal)ly 
gaze at him as together we look over 
the Record. 

Colt, Craig C. * 

Craig also seems to be a gentleman of 
elegant leisure. He graduated from 
Columbia Law School in '87 but has 
since spent much time traveling. He 
speaks witii piide of being a life meni- 
l)er of tiu! American Bible Soccily 
[tliink of this in Craig]. He is a meiii- 
of the Westminster Kennel Clul), Uni- 
versity, Tuxedo and Larchmunl Yacht 
Clubs, and can be addressed at Baby- 
lon, Long Island. 

Conover, Francis S., Jr.* 

Like Tommy Baker, Frank is so Inisy 
caring for the "iambs of his Hock" and 
his pasturc-al M'ork is such that he finds 
no time to reply. The Conover Ranch 
was in 1888, the Elm Ranch, Richland 
Springs, Texas. 

Crouse, Otto. 

"Salaams" to our Class President. 

For real earnest, telling, useful ser- 
vice rendered to '83 and the work she 
is trying to do for Princeton, few men 
have excelled Crouse and Roberts. "In 
season and out of season" they have 
labored with little else than glory as 
reward. If the "Memorial Gift" brings 
any credit to the class it will be be- 
cause these men with Bryant and 
Hodge have labored so intelligently 
and persistently. Of his whereabouts 
and work Otto speaks as follows: 

"My dear Rudd: I must apologize 
for not answering the interrogatives 
before 'lut my history makes so slowly 
that the short story of the last four 
years will easily lit into your I'ecord at 
any place still open. Then, too, I have 
wondered if I couldn't make somethiug 
out of nothing, and in some manner 
wrestle for tii'st or second prize oft'ered

OTTO GROUSE 

by you. That certainly ought to fill 
the cup sufficiently to satisfy the most 
grasping. 

Since the last Record was made my 
career has been a quiet, uneventful 
one. I have labored continually at the 
law, and while I should hesitate to say 
that that labor has been my only labor 
of love, it certainly is the only one that 
has given any appreciable -results. 
And yet they are very ' slight, Just 
across the river, John Keller and I 
sit and gaze at Hodge, Osboru and 
Petty, the legal meteors, and the mag- 
nitude of our humility is only equalled 
by the fees we never get. My politics 
are of the Jersey tj^pe — democratic — 
but T have never yet schooled myself 
to follow the baud wagon at all times. 
I reserve the personal and purely dem- 
ocratic prerogative of scratching when 
national and state questions are not in- 
volved. The only presidential candi- 
date I ever voted for was Grover Cleve- 
land, and to his ideas on public ques- 
tions, as expressed by his state papers, 
I heartily subscribe. 



You ask if I believe in Prohibition as 
a Third Party movement? I have no 
objection to it for third jJfirties — so long 
as it doesn't bind me. 

In my travels I have gone as far as 
Philadelphia to see Roberts and Bryant 
and to New York where Hodge ' 'tends 
bar.' My travels take me over to 
Princeton club meetings and the an- 
nual aluraui dinner, where '83 men are 
usually as scarce as the honors we have 
been waiting for. The only ofJice I 
have tilled has been my law office, and 
that has been Hlled with great satisfac- 
tion and fev/ clients. I have wiitten 
no book, taken no prizes, married no 
wives, won no glory and hence I am 
not engaged. I have frequently been 
mentioned for office but as yet the 
office hasn't sought the man. It I'e- 
calis the soothing balm 'Honorable 
Mention,' rather pleasant but a trifle 
empty. I hope to see fifty of '83' s sons 
at the decennial, and hope too, to 
cross the paths of a few of them at the 
World's Fair." 

Davis, Samuel M. 

Sam is a lawyer in Minneapolis, 
Minn. He answers as follows: 

1. "For three years after graduation 
resided in Yoiiv, Penn. and tanght in 
the York Collegiate Institute. 

2. Taught the first four years after 
graduation. Since 1888. have been en- 
gaged in the practice of the law. Was 
admitted to practice April 13, 1888, by 
Supreme Court of Minnesota. Have 
been fairly successful as this world 
goes. 

3. Was married June 24, 1891 at 
Minneapolis, Minn, to Frances B. Wag- 
ner. 

5. Republican. Did some stumping 
for Harrison in 1888. Presbyterian.

involves so much that I refrain from 
entering upon it.)

students to Princeton. 1 think this 
alumni organization has done good 



work in sending students to "Old

Day, Clinton L. 

U'e think the class had better take a 
(lay off to meander through this letter. 
Doubtless Duck Karner and Jim Rus- 
sell will cogitate that he scarcely need 
have mentioned that he gave very little 
tliought to politics. 

Dear Rudd: Your circular is at 
hand and most of your questions will 
be easily answered. 

Questions 1, 2. 3 & 4 are answei'ed 
fully in Sexennial record. There is ab- 
solutely no change to note. Address 
Care R. G. Dun & Co., Cleveland. 

5. I give very little thought to poli- 
tics. Always vote the Republican tick- 
et except in local elections, when I 
have been known to "scratch" a bad 
Republican and substitute a good Dem- 
ocrat. 1 think the present quiet cam- 
paign is largely due to the fact that 
the two great parties are so nearly in 
agreement on the subjects at issue that 
there is little to quarrel over. The 
characters of the Presidential candi- 
tlates having been stliuciently lied 
about during the previous campaigns I 
believe that the best element the coun- 
try, morally and mentally, is in the Re- 
publican party; that the prohibition 
party is composed of moral men who 
are mentally unsound; that Pruhibition 
votes come mostly from former Re- 
publicans and therefore weaken the 
latter and strengthen the Democratic 
party; that as far as the liquor question 
enters into politics at all, the Demo- 
cratic party is the whiskey party; that 
every Prohibition vote cast is therefore 
a vote for liquor and not against it; 
linally in consequence of the foregoing, 
that every Prohibitionist is a deluded 



fanatic. Local option is a good thing 
as shown by results in certain localities 
but as a third party movement in 
national politics Prohibition always has 
been and always will be worse than a 
dismal failure. It is a boomerang in 
the hands of the inexperienced, working 
injury to the cause it strives to advance. 
The greatest dangers threatening this 
country it seems to me are those aris- 
ing from the questions of Capital and 
Labor and from Trusts and other com- 
binations which are tending more and 
more towards the total extermination 
of the small dealers and manufactures. 
I don't pretend to suggest any remedy. 
Perhaps the Almighty with the aid of 
Henry George, Edw. Bellamy and 
others will sometime find a solution of 
the problem. The recent election is as 
much of a surprise to me as to every- 
one else but I am still a good Republi- 
can and Protectionist. I think the re- 
sult is due mainly to the laboring class- 
es, who haA^e been misled by theorists 
to attribute trusts and combinations of 
capitalists to the high tariff. It has 
been called a "thinking campaign" but 
a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. 
Ignorant men thinking of their wrongs 
are too apt to accept any argument 
which promises a change without fol- 
lowing it to its legitimate conclusion to 
ascertain whether the change will be 
beneficial. If we could only have Free 
Trade for a few years (and that is what 
nine-tenths of the Democratic howlers 
really want) how gladly would the 
laboring men rush to the Republican 
party and clamor for a McKinley Tariff. 
I am a Presbyterian of the Briggs- 
Sprecher, etc. school, which as I in- 
tei'pret it, means — with a decided 
leaning toward Universalism. 

6. Have joined and helped organize 
the Cleveland Athletic Club which now 
has over 1,000 members. Get covered

to one trip to New York and two fishing 
excursions to the Wisconsin woods; a 
sail "'up the Lakes" and a nice call on 
Jim Harlan and Bob Shanklin being a 
part of ray last trip. Having seen the 
"White City" in embryo shall make 
great efforts to attend the Fair. Ex- 
pect to attend our Reunion. 

8. Our Alumni Association of the 
Western Reserve has "petered out," 
died naturally without a gasp. No! I 
will not help organize one but will do 
anything else I can to help Old Nassau. 

9. I will gladly give $5.00 for a good 
record containing a reasonable number 
of photos of the boys. 

10. I have received no honors and 
can say nothing of interest to the class. 
Prescott is the only classmate I see 
often. He has given up working for 
honor and is now running a printing 
establishment of his own, with what 
success I leave him to tell. I will state 
that J. C. Life is at Traer, Iowa in the 
drug business.

Dickinson, AVarren M.* 

Dick writes, "I have nothing to add 
to the sexennial report. I am living 
about the same, practicing law with 
my father at this place; unmarried and 
as far as before from being so. I have 
not travelled any worth mentioning, 
taking a few weeks' summer trip tish- 
ing and gunning. I do not expect to 
attend the World's Fair but expect to 
be at the decennial reunion. My pres- 
ent address is Norristown, Pa., where 
I have resided ever since graduation. 
Have uot set the world atire and am 
not likely to. 

I see Carter occasionally, he being 
the same old Carter as of yove. Broad- 
head has a church a couple of miles 
above us and is very well. Claude al- 
ways was a sincere fellow in religious 
matters and will some day make his 
mark in the religious world. 

I am a Democrat and voted for 
Grover. I am a hard money advocate, 
no Free Silver in my politics. I believe 
in protection for revenue only. I guess 
that answer will make a line in the 
Record and will put my name in anj'- 
how. 

J>uane, Franklin.* 

Flip still remains in the employ of 
the Penna. R. R. and has been promot- 
ed almost over the whole State of 
Pennsylvania, until now he is stationed 
at Tacony on the New York division. 
At present he is in charge, along that 
section, of the construction of the elect- 
ro-pneumatic-automatic signals. Look 
out they don't go off Flip, and give you 
a Corbettic-paralytic. He further an- 
swers binefly that he is unmarried, and 
sees no likelihood of ever being mar- 
ried. Is an Episcopalian, a Democrat, 
and a firm believer in Grover Cleve- 
land, but (hiesn't take any Prohibition 
in his. Says he has no time to write 
an essay on Free Trade or Protection, 
and avers if he had, it wouldn't amount 
to a hill of beans." As this is the first 



time in the entire ten years that we 
have received a response from Flip, 
we feel that congratulations are in or- 
der.

CHARLES DUNNING. 

If co-sine Charlie makes as short 
work of bis patients as he did of our 
questions, he must put them very 
quickly out of their misery; e. g. "Un- 
married; no children that I know of; 
Republican; don't believe in Prohi- 
bition, as I live in a Prohibition state 
and see its utter failure so far as pro- 
hibiting drinking is concerned; will at-

four years was Bob Yard last summer

REV. GEORGE EDWARDS. 

and ill these ten years past has learned 
how to endure hardness as a good 
soldier. To him as to others of the 
class the saddest possible domestic af- 
fliction has also come. But amidst all 
his busy cares and trials he finds time 
to write as follows: 

1. My address is Lewistovvn, Mon- 
tana. Since leaviog Princeton I have 
been a citizen of the "Bunch Grass 
State," four years at White Sulphur 
Springs, and more recently at Lewis- 
town. 

2. By the people here I am familiar- 
ly called "Parson" and "Elder" and 
sometimes stigmatized as a "Rustler." 
I have organized churches at Phil- 
bi'ook, Lewistown and Armells besides 
being the pioneer minister of our 
church at White Sulphur Springs. A 
part of my ministerial work has been 
to secure places of worship for the con- 
gregations at the Springs and Lewis- 
town, besides the erection of a comfor- 
table manse at each place. 

3. I married Miss Mary A. Cattin of 



White Sulphur Springs, April 4, 1889, 
but she and her child were taken from 
me the following year. My younger 
sister Anna, a teacher of music by pro- 
fession, has made Montana her home 
so as to be with me in the work. 

5. Voted for Harrison and would do 
it again. Hurrah for Montana! "She 
is all right." 

7. Last fall on a trip East I rene;v- 
ed my acquaintance with Bonbright 
and Pard Harsha. 

This is a big county, about the size 
of New Jersey, but if I should relate 
my travels through its length and 
breadth this summer to secure funds 
for a new church, it would fill an al- 
cove at Princeton. 

8. I don't know of a Princeton man 
within a hundred miles. Last summer 
I thought I had struck a bonanza 
when I made the acquaintance of an 
Eastern candidate for Princeton honors 
(in athletics) who had passed his en- 
trance examination with but two con- 
ditions. 

Fell, Daniel A. 

Fell realizes his negligence as fol- 
lows: 

Your last circular letter received and 
to be frank with you, it did make me 
feel a little ashamed of myself, taking 
into consideration all that Princeton 
and the class of '83 did for me. In- 
closed find answers to questions. I 
have by this mail sent one of my photo- 
graphs and also mailed one of my 
boy's to Grouse. You can count on 
my taking one of the Class Histories. 

1. Wilkes Barre, Luzerne County, 
Pennsylvania. 

2. Law. 

3. Yes. Oct. lOtli, 1888, Wilkes 
Barre. Frances L. Bertels. 

4. Harold Bertels Fell, born Aug. 
13th, 1889, Wilkes Barre, Pa. " 

5. Republican. Because I believe 
in the constitutional right to make 
necessary internal improvements, to 



—25- 



pfovide a national currency and to 
develop and protect the industries of 
the country. 

I am opposed to "Prohibition" be- 
cause it has been demonstrated as a 
matter of experience that it is a fail- 
ure, but I believe in temperance. 

The greatest danger that menaces 
our republican form of government at 
the present time is the present immi- 
gration. 

I was born a Presbyterian and have 
never had any cause to go back on my 
religious training. 

7. Expect to attend both the World's 
Fair and Decennial Reunion. 

8. Member Princeton Alumni Asso- 
ciation of Northeastern Pennsylvania. 

9. Yes. 

Field, William P.*t 




WILLIAM P. FIELD. 

The letter-heading of Billy's com- 
mercial note tells a pretty full story of 
what he can do as a civil engineer, but 
the body of his letter tells precious 
little as to what he has done during this 



decade past of personal interest to '83. 
We transcribe these brief statements: 
Present address 976 Broad St. Newark, 
N. J. Married Jan., 12, 1887, to Miss 
Josephine Down ng Smith. Republi- 
can. As to travels, see "Baedeker's 
Guides" of England, Fi'ance, Germany, 
Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Denmark, 
Belgium and Holland. 

Finney, Rev. Wm. P. 

Never did '83 call, but Jai always 
responded and his patient untiring in- 
terest in this Record and his great help 
to the Secretary together with Petty's 
aid in making this issue possible, is 
duly and deeply appreciated and we 
ai'e sure will be by the class. Every- 
body was fond of Finney and we re- 
joice in the sti'ong steady work he 
is doing. He writes thus of himself: 

"It gives me pleasure once more to 
read your "Call to arms" in the '83 
circular letter just received. Such stir- 
ring commandiag words ought to re- 
ceive a ready and loyal response from 
all the fellows. Your sentences strike 
me as models of brevity, and if your 
sermons are fashioned after the same 
pattern, it is not strange that your 
people so adore you 

1. Well, ten years out of old Prince- 
ton finds me still liugering within fifty 
miles of those "Classic Shades." My 
address however does not remain the 
same as at last report. For after serv- 
ing the people of my first charge for 
six years, I accepted a call to the First 
Presbyterian church at Moorestowu, 
N. J., near Philadelphia. 

2. Here I am endeavoring to dis- 
charge the duties of a village dominie; 
but with what success I have kept my 
light from being hidden under a bushel 
you may judge from the following. 
Not long since I received a call from 
one of my fellow-townsmen, who en- 
quired very solicitously as to whether 
I ever attended church. Upon my re- 
plying that I was not altogether a 



-26— 



stranger to that institution, I was fur- 
ther exhorted on the subject, and urged 
to become a regular attendant. 

3. As to the domestic side of life, I 
still mourn the wife of my youth, to 
whom I was married, at Bel Air, Md., 
on the 5th of October, 1887. Her maid- 
en name was Pamela R. Richardson. 
She died at New Egypt, N. J., June 31, 
1889. 

4. I find great comfort, though in the 
little boy she left me, William Parker 
Finney, Jr. born Jan. 20, 1889. He 
seems already to have taken to writing 





REV. WM. P. FINNEY. 

sermons, as a duck takes to water, and 
has enough stored away new to cover 
the bottom of a barrel . And from his 
very birth he has given at least this 
promise of success in his predestined 
calling, in that he has fi-equently been 
able to hold his audience until far into 
the night. He has also won a Prince- 
ton trophy in the shape of the 
handsome "Class Cup" of my Seminary 
Class. This he took over the heads of 
thirteen girls who antedated him in 
birth. Altogether he is the finest boy 



by all odds that '88 has yet turned out. 

5. My polities? Well, just what 
every native born Mississippian's would 
naturally be, though upon the great 
and overtowering subjects of the liquor 
habit and the saloon, I am an out and 
out Prohibitionist in principle, and am 
quite willing and intend to put my 
theories into practical votes along that 
line. The Toice of the people in the 
last national election expi'essed my sen- 
timents exactly on the tariff issue, 
though a change of residence prevented 
me from casting a vote. As to the 
silver problem, the main trouble, as I 
see it from my standpoint, is simply 
this: The Government has too much 
of that commodity and I have too little. 
A redistribution therefore I think would 
be beneficial to us both. In regard to 
immigration, I am not able to decide 
in which particular our Nation has 
committed the greater sin — whether in 
its flagi'aut breach of honor in the 
Chinese Exclusion Act or whether in 
going to the opposite extreme in regard 
to the undesirable hordes of Europe. 
A fair and happy medium in both cases 
is I think the true course to pursue. 

6. I have used up many bottles of 
ink, and inany reams of paper in the 
ten j^ears gone, but as it was chiefly on 
sermons, I need not further "tell about 
it." 

7. I have wandered about pretty ex- 
tensively over the country, having been 
in every one of the forty-four states ex- 
cept seven. Am counting on visiting 
the World's Fair, and will surely cover 
seat 28 when '83's spotter begins to get 
in his work at the Decennial. 

8. My name is not on the roll of any 
Alumni Club, but so far as I have had 
opportunity I have never failed to boom 
Princeton. 

9. Of course I must have a Record at 
any price, but will expect the usual 
"ten per cent discount to clergymen." 
The pictures of the fellows ought to add 
considerably to the interest of the book, 



-21— 



and if you could only have the "queens 
of '83" there too, it would be very fine. 
10. I append a couple of clippiu{]js in 
regard to two of the fellows, which 
may possioly be of some use to you. 
Last summer out in Tacoma I ran 
across Dominie Welsh to my great sur- 
prise, and with a good wife and law 
practice to his credit, he hopes for fur- 
ther prosperity in that enchanting em- 
pire of the Pacific northwest. In Port- 
land I saw Lucy Lewis and enjoyed the 
hospitality of his palatial home. 
Though in College days he was the 
youngest, "the little Benjamin" of our 
flock, yet [now he surely must be the 
grayest. He still disclaims even the 
remotest thought of matrimony. 
Whether his gray hairs are the result of 
his anxiety to keep free from cupid's 
toils I am unable to say. 

Fisher, D. K. Este.* 

Este still continues to lay down the 
law in the city of diamond back terra- 
pins and pretty girls, and reports 
"pretty good success." And so might 
one of the aforesaid girls, Miss Sally 
Jones Milligan McLaue, who on Nov. 
26, 1890 led our dandy Este a Avilling 
captive to Hymen's altar, and ever 
since has been laying down the law to 
him. On Feb. 2, 1892 another little 
Este arrived, D. K. Este, Jr. of whom 
the fond parent makes aftidavit that he 
wears "a ruddy complexion, and red 
hair; and is vei'y bright and of happy 
disposition." With these matters of 
domestic interest recorded, Este pi'o- 
ceeds to show up things political and 
economic as follows: "I believe in a 
tariff for revenue, and think raw ma- 
terial and painting and statuary should 
be admitted free. Am strongly oppos- 
ed to Free Silver, and think gold the 
true standard of value. Think immi- 
gration should be restricted, but have 
foi'med no definite opinion to what ex- 
tent. Believe in an American America. 
Expect to vote Democratic ticket out 



and out. Think Quarantine should be 
in the hands of the Federal Govern- 
ment, and that the immigration of the 
pauper population of Europe is a con- 
stant menace to the physical and men- 
tal health of the nation, to say nothing 
of the moral. These things demand at- 
tention from Congress, and at once. 
Do not think^that the principles upon 
which our government and institutions 
are founded require that our doors 
should be thrown wide open to all 
comers. Think extremes of wealth on 
the one hand and labor combinations, 
strikes and socialism on the other 
threaten the liberty of. the nation." 

In conclusion Este states briefly that 
he is an Episcopalian in religion, has 
visited Europe twice but scarcely ever 
sees any of his classmates, though he 
sees Riggs frequently. Rather rough 
on Riggs, don't you think* 

Fleming, George R. 

From the bright cheery tone of Flem- 
ings letter we can picture him anew as 
he used to cross the campus, whistling 
or singing and always jolly and kind 
hearted in his courteous treatment of 
everyone. It seems thoroughly pleas- 
ant to hear from you again George, 
and all will be glad to shake your hand 
in June '98. Fleming strikes a good 
high tenor note and this is the tenor of 
his song. 

My present permanent address is 111 
West State St., Harrisburg, Danphin 
County, Peun., the banner Republican 
state of the Union. This has been and 
is likely to be for all time to come my 
address, unless sold out by the sheriff 
as I am about to rebuild and enlarge 
my present earthly dwelling place. 
Harrisbui'g has been my home since 
birth. My occupation is. Attorney at 
Law —General Real Estate, and any 
thing that has the slightest tendancy 
toward reaching filthy lucre, (of 
course this excepts poker, faro bank, 
horse racing etc.) Time forbids my

computing in dollars and cents the 
success met with since leaving college 
— so far however I have been able to 
pay my Grocer, Butelier, etc. Married? 
why of course — all good, sensible, hon- 
est, steady, sober and industrious 
members of eighty three have taken 
unto themselves a better half — I have 
been no exception, so Oct. 9, 1890 
I led to the altar Miss Eliza McCor- 
mick Robinson of Allegany, Pa., sister 
of Bob Robinson, eighty-one, a true, 
loyal daughter of Princeton, this of 
course was one term of marriage; and 
as the story books tell us, as a result of 
the aforesaid marriage, on the 30th day 
of July, 1891 Anna Margaritte Fleming 
was ushered into this world, one of the 
finest, inheriting all th(^ excellent, none 
of the "bad" traits, of her father, and 
bright enough, were it not for her sex, 
to be one of Princeton's most worthy 
and honored sons. 

In Politics: — National, Republican; 
State, Sort of Luke Warm Republican, 
kind of Mugwunipish. Protectionist. 



Why? Of course because I am a Penn- 
sylvanian . No, not by a large major- 
ity, do I vote for Prohibition. A Harri- 
son man and P"esbyterian. Written 
considerable, but cannot give my 
writings away as some day they may 
be my family's fortune. 

Expect to attend the World's Fair 
and will undoubtedly be at '83's De- 
cennial, "deo volente, and ihe creek 
don't freeze over." Shouting and active 
member of The Central Pennsylvania 
Alumni Association. 

Would pay twice the sum named for 
a ])hoto in "halftone" of the members 
of '83. 

Have not seen a member of the class 
since graduation, so being "alone in 
my glory here at Harrisburg" cannot 
mention any particular classmate with 
whom I am particularly intimate. 

Hoping the Record will be a great 
success and congratulations on "Ruddy 
Jr.," 1 am as ever, yours in '83. 

Flint, James Powers.*t 




JAMES POWERS FLINT. 

After spending most of his graduate 



—29- 



life in the wild and woolly (especially 
woolly) we8f, Jim has coiiie back to civ- 
ilization again, and for the present has 
his headquaiters in the Commerce 
Building, Chicago. He sends us a 
mighty interesting and thoughtful let- 
ter, and while wajching his Hock by 
night has evidently not been letting the 
man in the moon throw any star dust in 
his eyes. He continues to report him- 
self engaged as in sexennial Record but 
gives no inkling as to when the round- 
up will occur, and he will assume the 
joke. But lie can tell his story best in 
his own words: 1 have resided since 
graduation in Minnesota, Montana, and 
California. Occupation, wool-grower. 
If you measure success from a staud- 
l)oint of accumulation and a hard won 
experience can honestly answer, "yes."' 
How V By possessing capital doing the 
work of two men, never thinking of 
personal comfort and having as a result 
prol):ibly the grayest head of the class. 
As to politics I would naturally be a 
strong Republican Protectionist from 
the very nature of my occupation. I 
am not a Republican or a Protectionist 
not simply because I happen to be a 
wool -grower but from the tirm convic- 
tion that the principles of the party tem- 
porai'ily deposed from power stand for 
the greatest good of the greatest num- 
ber. The political Waterloo of last fall 
was simpl}' a warning from the intelli- 
gence of the nation that the carnades re- 
sulting from a long lease of power must 
lie cleared awa}^ To appreciate the full 
wisdom of a protective policy, particu- 
larly where the benefits received are 
indirect requires not only a thorough 
mastering of the subject so as to behold 
things in their true light, but a certain 
amount of patriotism as well. The pur- 
chasing of our rustling millions is a fix- 
ed quantity if ninety per cent of our 
wants can be supplied at home by a 
proper restriction of commodities great- 
er prosperity must ensure than a small- 
er per centage of trade with the ''bars 



down." The hue and cry about the 
"Markets of the world" is all bosh. The 
bank clearings of the "land of the free 
and the home of the brave" exceed by 
fifteen billions of dollars the combined 
clearings of the balance of the world. 
The reciprocity ideas of our late great 
U ader in conjunction with a wise pro- 
tective tariff promise greater financial 
prosperty than any free trade scheme 
that holds out the alluring (V) prospect 
of a fierce competition with the paid 
and fed hirelings of the co tinent. 
This subject can well be the study of a 
lifetime. Hence broaching it in a brief 
letter can only prove an exasperation to 
one who is full of it. As for silver I be- 
lieve in a bis-metallic standard, and the 
financial education of the commercial 
world until a second Brussels Confer- 
ence shall be as much of a success as 
the last was a failure. Restriction of 
immigration is another necessity of the 
hour. 

I can only wonder that the great lab- 
or organizations of the country, depend- 
ent so vitally for success in every strike 
upon the law of supply and demand, 
have not ere this demanded the enact- 
ment of such a law. Such restriction in 
conjunction with a happy policy of ar- 
bitraticm would forever prevent the re- 
curi'ence of another Homestead horror. 
Prohibition as a Third Party movement 
I don't consider wise or feasible. The 
privileges of the franchise should not be 
vested in considering but one of the 
many important questions now before 
the people. Prohibition in itself is a 
vital necessity, but I am afraid will nev- 
er be attained through present methods. 
My vote was cast for our late President. 

The main danger that threatens the 
American people in my opinion is the 
disintegration that sooner or later will 
come from a low standard of public and 
private morality. A false sentiment 
abounds among certain educated class- 
es that politics is a cess- pool from which 
to be in proper foriii "they must keep 



-30— 



their skirts well drawn." I can not 
help but lament the words of our possi- 
bly over intellectual President, who 
standing as the head of our Alma Mater 
voices the sentiment that philosophy 
and science took his attention to such a 
degree that he enjoyed the privileges of 
American citizenship for twenty years 
without seeking the responsibilities that 
attend it. 

If men of supposed breadth and learn- 
ing set such an example for rising youth 
to imitate the ti'end of the body must 
be surely downward. The only remedy 
to apply is proper education of the re- 
sponsibilities that fall to every man who 
desires to enjoy life, liberty and the pur- 
suit of happiness. At present I have no 
religious aiiiliations. Have written 
nothing but checks as "Coouey" Peace 
would say. As to offices I have attained 
nothing startling. Am the President of 
the Sun River Sheep Co. and have held 
a County Commissionership. My trav- 
els have been confined to the western 
end of our country and one trip around 
the boundary, all of which is too prosaic 
to dwell upon. With Chicago as head 
quarters I shall probably attend the 
"World's fair." As to being with you 
in June I shall hope for that happi- 
ness." 

The Secretary regrets that Jim's lat- 
est photo came too late for insertion. 
Above is the class one. 

Garmany, Howard H.* 

He tells us he has little of interest to 
add to his triennial report. If Jim 
Flint were only in college now he could 
make love to Gumdrop's brother, who 
is in '93. He sends his cordial regards 
to the class. His address remains the 
same in Savannah, 116 Duffy St. 

Gilinore, George W.*t 

Gill quills off the following: 
1. Address 5i3 Gates Ave., Brooklyn, 
N. y. Have resided in Seoul, Korea, 



Jokohama, Japan and Brooklyn N, Y. 

2. Teaching, preaching, magazine 
editoi", general utility man. Can't say 
about -success. 

3. Yes. Nothing to add to record 
already given. 

4. Last class record has items you 
wish. 

5. Mugwump from the word go. 
(You know "Jimmie" once said of me 
"He's inclined to be iudepindent, but 
he's not so bad after all.") Am a free 
trader, gold-basiser, pro-chinesei', anti- 
prohibitioner, Cleveland voter, opti- 
mistic Presbyterian. 

6. Yes. Have written "Korea from 
its capital, with a chapter on missions" 
a booklet of some 380 pages, which will 
be out (I hope) is a few days (this is 
Oct. 17th.) Have a department in the 
Magazine of Christian Literature, am a 
reviewer on the staff of that magazine 
and on the "Presbyterian and Reformed 
Review." Occasionally with a maga- 
zine article on some theological sub- 
ject. Keep to athletics, i. e. Lacrosse — 
was a "Champion of the U. S." in 1891, 
hold a medal to prove it. Other than 
this have neither glory nor (alas) 
"dust" to show. I helped contribute 
the Bibliography to the new Cyclo- 
paedia of missions." 

7. The class knows already of my 
travels in the Orient. My book will 
give further information on that point. 
(Notice the cuteness of this as an "ad") 
Hope to attend reunion, though I may 
go to Germany for a few month's study. 

Green, Orlando* 

"We learn from a brother of Green 
the sad intelligence that he died of 
pneumonia at Jackson, Miss., Feb. 20, 
1888. When he was taken away he was 
a Professor in Capital Commercial Col- 
lege at Jackson. He is said to have 
been engaged at the time of his death. 
One of the good things he did for Jack- 
Son was to compile a directory of the 
<?ity. He was an ardent Princetonian."

WALTER D. GREEN. 

Walter is tryiug to allure "the halt, 
the lame and the bliud" to deposit their 
shekels with him. He says he is still 
single and uneiiga<;ed and likely to re- 
main "statuo quo." [See Trans, to Ho- 
race, pp. 4, 11, 44] He is assistant 
snrjijeon of the Philadelphia Fire De- 
partment, surjifeon to Philadelphia Out 
Department, assistant demonsli'ator of 
surgery at the University of Pennsyl- 
vania M(Mlical College, and surgical 
I'egistrar in Pennsylvania Hospital. "I 
see few of the fellows but learn that 
Billy Parke is making ducats and a 
good name for hiisiseif as Physician at 
Girard College. I met Ned Royle on 
the street April, '89, and he told me he 
was 'doing light comedy' and 'bringing 
down the bouse nightly for a small sti- 
pend weekly." Walter will be glad to 
welcome any '83 man at No. 214 South

greets us with the pathetic statement 
"No gloi-y in mine! I am every day

glory enough all at one time, one would 
think. 

But perhaps it is more "gory" than 
glory. He sees a good deal of the Phila.

the Phila. Alumni Association. 

Hall, Harry W.* 




Green, Walter D.*t harry \v. hall. 

Our hero of the Math, spree, and of The class should be proud that they 



-32- 



have "one real live artist." We all 
remember Harry's clever work on the 
"Tiger," but that would be child's play 
now. After leaving college, Hall spent 
three years iu the Paris schools of draw- 
ing and painting and in the study of 
the old masters as well as in travelling. 
In 1889 he was to be found at No. 26 
Bank street, New York, where he was 
engaged in teaching and illustrating.

and matrimony is iu keeping with the 
rest of his profession. No recent word

Harlan, James S. 

•'Jim" has been one of the most suc- 
cessful of '83, being a member of the firm 
Gregory, Booth and Harlan, the firm of 
which Chief Justice Fuller was a mem- 
ber. Every one of his old classmates 
will be glad to hear of "Jim's" pro- 
gress and to learn that those manly 
qualities which made him a favorite at 
college, plus hard work and brains, have 
won for him success in his profession. 
He replies as follows: 

1. Room 1203 Title & Trust Build- 
ing, Chicago. Since December, 1884 
I have lived continuously in this city. 

2. I have been practicing law. Suc- 
cess is of course a relative term. I 
have progressed and ought to be con- 
tent. 

3. I am not married. 

4. No children. 

5. I have taken but little interest in 
politics. I was opposed to the McKin- 
ley bill. Briefly my view of the ques- 
tion is that if the country needs a par- 
ticular industry, the duty should be 
high enough to be an incentive to capi- 
tal and labor to engage in it, but not 
so high as to confer upon capital an 
advantage that amounts to a special 
privilege, of which labor and the con- 



sumer get no share. Theoretically 1 
am a free trader, but practically that 
seems neither possible nor wise in this 
country. I am down on Free Silver as 
much as anyone can be who does not 
know very much, if anything, about 
the merits ot that discusssion. I sup- 
pose that all of us agree that immigra- 
tion should, be regulated so as to ex- 
clude undesirable individuals or races. 
I voted for Harrison in 1892. I do not 
see that the American people are in 
any particular danger. Perhaps the 
corruption that arises out of our pres- 
ent municipal government is as serious 
an evil as any that confronts us. 

6. No. 

7. I shall of course try to get to our 
Decennial Reunion. 

8. Belong to the Chicago Alumni 
Association. 

9. I shall take a copy of the Record 
in whatever form it is issued. I have 
had no photograph taken for years, but 
shall try to have one ready for the 
Record. [We regret that none came, 
and we were asked not to insert his 
83 class photo.] 

10. See more of Shanklin and Taber 
than any one else. Both are doing 
well. The latter has just finished a 
valuable essay on a legal question of 
great local interest.

OLIVER HARRIMAN, JR. 

tinually in my thoughts. I sup))ose 
that you would like me to answer the 
questions asked in your "Extra" so I 
will do it as concisely as T can. 

1. O. J. Harriman & Co.. 120 Broad- 
way. Have resided since graduation 
at Westchester, N. Y., Tuxedo Park, 
and New York City. 

2. Bankers & Brokers. Think that I 
have been moderately successful, do 
not complain. It is too embarrassing 
to say how much I have made. 

3 Am a staid married man. Married 
Miss Grace Carley of Louisville, Ky., 
•'the best woman in the world," Jan- 
uary 28, '91, at St. Thomas' Church, 
New York City. Went off on a 6 weeks 
honeymoon which hasn't stopped yet. 

4. No children. 

5. Republican, believe in protection, 
but not free coinage of silver nor the 
Sherman bill of 1890 — Harrison. 

6. Am Acting Aide-de-camp to Brig. 
Gen. Louis Fitzgerald of the First Bri- 
gade, Trustee of the Continental Trust 



Co. and hold a few other positions of 
trust. 

7. Have taken every opportunity to 
travel, when I could get away I went 
somewhere and saw something. Since 
'83 have been to Europe three times. 
Travelled through Spain to the African 
coast, spent two weeks in Venice and 
Italian Lakes and have of course, gone 
through London and Paris. Have been 
to Cuba twice and South several times. 
Start to-morrow on a tour of the 
United States in a special train with 
Dr W. Seward Webb's party, to be 
gone two months or moi'e, stopping to 
see the World's Fair on our way back. 
My wife always goes with me. 

8 Am a member of the Princeton 
Club of New York and have influenced 
several to go to Princeton. 

9. I regret that I cannot send my 
photo. I haven't one, but haven't 
changed much. Still have a beardless 
face, but have grown a "little hair on 
my legs" since '83. Would take a Re- 
cord of '83 at any i)rice". 

Thanks 01! A V please. 

Harsha, Albert K.* 

Bert sends us such a ciiaracteristic 
and unique letter that we quote the 
most of it. He says: "I owe you a 
thousand apologies and as many more 
to every member of our dear old class 
for failing to come up to the scratch 
and give you a description of my past 
collegiate life. [He is more repentant 
for his tardiness than most of the de- 
linquents have been.] First of all I 
want to thank you for your kind w ords 
in regard to the fact that the Record 
would be incomplete without a word 
from me. 1 am egotist enough to be- 
lieve that the class would be intei'ested 
in hearing from one whom it saw tit to 
elect to represent them around the old 
cannon on class day. After leaving 
Princeton 'Sem' I settled down at Ros- 
lyn, L. I., the home of the poet, Bryant, 
where he lived the last forty years of 



—84- 



his life, and where he died and was 
buried. He was a constant attendant 
at my church, although he was never 
inspired into writing any of his master- 
pieces by hearing my flight of oratory 
acquired from Prof. Ra^'inond, nor was 
he ever charmed into a poetic mood by 
hearing "senior class glee club voice" 
in th;; doxology — all beciause he was 
dead before I reached the Switzerland 
ol' America, (as he chose to name Ros- 
lyn). After spending two delightful 
y<'ars there, I resigned my chui'ch on 
accountof the death of my wife During 
tlie summer of '8S I MUed luy bi'other's 
pulpit in Omaha. I have scurried 
around to iind a church that might be 
foolish enough to get 'mashed on my 
ecclesiastical tigger.' A large church 
in Keokuk, la , with 600 uieiabers and 
a salary of $3,000, was the first victim 
of my homiletic onslaught. I came as 
near getting that church as the fellow 
did in getting a wife. 'I asked her if 
she would nuirry me and she said she 
would not.' Then on May 15 I was in- 
stalled over one of the nicest little 
churches in the country, the Higrhland 
Park Presbyterian Church, Minneapo- 
lis, Minn. (Present address 1803.) 
'Aggressive, spiritual and benevolent.' 
In October '89 I was married to Miss 
Helen McLean of Newbui'y, Ontario. 
Canada, a Si-otch lassie of r(.)yal plaid 
and true blue Presbyterian blood I 
ha.ve built me a neat little house and 
cordialljf invite every '83 man to enter 
my Wild West home and eat buffalo 
meat and sleep in a blanket before my 
domestic camp-lire. The old gal 
"Gloi'j" has not 'monkeyed' with me 
much. 'We never speak as we pass 
by.' Frequently see Sam Davis and 
Ross Paden. With lots of love to all 
the old fellows, I am yours in our 
Indian blanket, Pard Harsha"

Hewitt, Charles. 




CHARLES HEWITT. 

Charlie together with a few other of 
our poverty stricken classmates like 
Este Fisher and Jim Flint was so eco- 
nomical with his note paper that he well 
nigh discredited in our eyes an other- 
wise readalde letter, by writing on both 
sides of the page. 

With an amount of Christian for- 
bearance which pen caunot tell, we 
have copied it oft' in part as follows: 



1. Present address: The Arlington, 
94 Montague St., Brooklyn, N. Y. 

2. Have pursued Electrical Engi- 
neering, more specilically Elec. R. K. 
Engineering. Have not grown rich 
in the sei'vice, but have not been alto- 
gether unsuccessful. The enclosed 
card shows my pi-esent official position 
with the great Electrical Trust, viz. 
"Inspector in the Railway Department 
of the General Electric Co., Edi.son 
Building, 44 Broad St., N. Y. City.' 

3. Was married on Sept. 20th '8S 
to Miss Helen Scarborough of Trenton, 
N.J. 

4. No children to tell about. 

5. Am a staunch Republican, be- 
cause I believe in protection, sound 
currency and other principles of the 
party, and am well pleased with the 
doings of the party while in power. I 
do not believe in Prohibition, or Tiiird 
Party movements, and voted for 
Ben Harrison. I believe the country 
has most to fear from foreign iinmigra- 
tiim and ring rule in politics, such ring 
nde I mi'nn as raiuinany H lU everts in 
New York, even to the extent of cor- 
rupting the Supreme Court. 

I am ;i churchman, being a member 
of wli;it is known as thci Protestant 
Episi'op;il chnich. 

G. Am a full member of the Amer 
icau Institute of Electrical Eiigiueer- 
ing. Have written several articles for 
the Electrical Journals, one of which 
obtained sufficient prominence to be 
commented upon in a long editorial in 
The P^ngineering News of London, Eng. 

7. My travels have lieen numerous 
and extended, but rehearsing them 
would not prove interesting. I hope 
and expect to attend the Workl's Fair 
and '83 Decennial. 

I do not see much of any of the boys 
although there are several doing busi- 
ness within gun shot of my office I 
had the pleasure of attending Ed. 
Royle's first night's production of 
"Friends." Ed. has truly found a

"Mend" in this play for on the 16th 
of this month (Oct. '93) I witnessed his 
marriage to Miss Fetter — his leading 
lady. "Shorty" was at the wedding 
with his wife. Shorty has grown fat 
raising "cows" in the Wild West. 

The idea of putting the pictures in 
the record. I admire your scheme for 
getting a new collection of photos.

VICTOK LUCAS HICKS. 

Victor died of pneumonia at his home 
in the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, Cali- 
fornia, in March, 1887. Ned Royle, who 
was there about that time, learned that 
Victoi''s death was caused by taking a 
sea bath. This is not a sacrilegous joke 
but a sad fact. Being in poor health 
Victor went to some watering place on 
the California coast, but the effect o^ 
the baths was the fatal illness.

J. ASFINVV^ALL HODGE, L. L. B. 

"Jack" is a lawyer in New York City 
and the '83 lawyers in his city report 
that he has been very successful in his 
profession having become in particular 
a very able trial lawyer and developed 
a wonderful capacity for "obfuscating" 
witnesses, judges and the leaders of the 
bar. His letter is characteristic in the 
subtle points raised and the general 
way in which everybody and every- 
thing is "sat upon" including "Cook 
County". 

1. "Business address 34 Nassau St., 
N. Y. Residence 47 West 72d St., N. 
Y. Resided in Lavvrenceville, Heidel- 
berg and New York since graduation. 

3. Teaching two years,then the study 
and practice of the law. If success is 
the attainment of an end, I have not 
succeeded. If success consists in grad- 



—37- 



ually attaining an end, I believe I am 
succeeding. 

3. Am married. Last record answers 
all the questions under this head, ex- 
cept that the maiden name of my wife 
should be Karr instead of Carr as there 
printed, and my children's names aad 
births are as follows: 

4. Charlotte Morse Hodge, May 25, 
1889, Louise Karr Hodge, July 6, 1890. 
These two inherit all the admirable 
traits of their mother and some of the 
faults of their father. 

5. I am % democrat because I am op- 
posed to the taxing of the many for the 
benefit of the few and because I believe 
that the Republican party like every 
other in the history of the world, which 
has had too long a lease of power, is 
corrupted and corrupting. The class 
secretary has greatly erred in asking 
whether the members of the class are 
for Protection or Free Trade as if one 
must be for one or the other. (Excuse 
us Jack. Don't split hairs.) I am for 
neitheroand I believe that the Demo- 
cratic pai-ty is for neither. Heresy is 
the principal danger threatening the 
American people because it is basic. 
The remedy is Orthodoxy, — in religion, 
science, art, poetry, literature, com- 
merce, business politics and labor. It 
is needless to add I am an old school 
Presbyterian. I have written a large 
number of books and a still greater 
number of papers, but most of the for- 
mer have been printed briefs and the 
latter legal documents. I have filled 
no office and the societies I have joined 
are merely of local interest; ( Why does 
"Jack" decline to refer to the numer- 
ous lectures he has delivered in Hai'lem 
to the Y. M. C. A.?) "The only title I 
have gained is that of L. L. B. 

7. I expect to attend the World's 
Fair in Cook County and '83's Decen- 
nial Dinner.— The order here should 
have been reversed. 

8. Am a member of the Princeton 
Club of N. Y. and regularly attend its 



meetings but don't meet many of my 
classmates there. 

9. Have the photos if it is not so late 
as to delay the publication of Record, 
not otherwise. Whether published in 
record or not have the photos sent the 
secretary put in an album to be the 
class property and have it at the De- 
cennial and every subsequent I'eunion. 
It could be kept in the Library — in '83 
alcove if necessary. 

10. I have few items of interest to 
record respecting classmates although I 
have heard from or of, nearly all of '83. 
Half a dozen of '83's brainy men have 
recently (this is hearsay) stated that 
they had done so much for Princeton 
in the past that they did not feel that 
they could do much for her now, 
especially as Princeton ha I done little 
for them. Of course, Princeton owes 
these men a debt for having been al- 
lowed to grace - her walls with their 
names, but for myself my debt to 
Princeton is greater than can be paid," 
(It makes us sad to think that notwith- 
standing his legal training, "Jack" has 
never fully destroyed that virgin mo- 
desty and spirit of self abnegation 
which so interfered with his being fully 
appreciated while in college) "and as 
the possessor of this feeling, I believe I 
am very far indeed from being among 
the minority of '83. I love to meet, as 
I have recently, such class and college 
enthusiasts as Colt, Lewis, Bryant, 
Field, Roberts, Crouse and Moore. 
The staple metropolitan ennui has not 
covered them with its frigid monotone 
of green moss and stiff lichen. —You see 
Bryant has been talking to me of Arc- 
tic scenery.— The sum of all this is that 
it seems to me that a few of '83 are get- 
ting old and are drying up into the sear 
and yellow, and the writer hopes the 
Decennial will freshen them up a bit es- 
pecially if the '83 class gathers in force 
and there is the How of spirit that there 
should be."

Hoskins, Rev. Frank Evans. 

The class receives no information re- 
garding lier sons with more ardent in- 
terest than they glean from Hoskins' 
remarkably interesting letter. He is 
making History for the Church, for 
the cause of christian civilization, for 
Syria, and bringing credit to Princeton 
as few other men are. We give him 
all the space he desires. 

1. Zahleh, Syria. Beirut three years, 
New York two years, and Zahleh five 
years. 

2. First I taught three years in the 
Syrian Protestant College at Beirut, 
then I studied Theology in New York 
for two years and now for five 3^ears I 
have been a Missionary. As to "suc- 
cess" I cannot say vei-y much until 
after accounts are balanced beyond the 
stars. 

3. Yes, I am a married man. I 
went to Sidon, the oldest city in the 
world, and persuaded Miss Harviette 
Mollison Eddy that I was her best por- 
tion in life. Then I ran over to New 
York for the two years mentioned and 
after I had my seminary parchment li- 
cense, ordination, commission and pass- 
port I hurried over the ocean for the 
seventh time and reached Syria via Italy 
and Alexandria about as fast as steam 
would carry me. I reached Beirut one 
lovely morning in August, 1888, and re- 
mained just 30 hours, long enough for 
the minister to say the necessary words 
and the U. S. Consul to wave the Star 
Spangled Banner. Then we sailed 
away to Switzerland via. Italy and after 
a rest of two months we alighted in 
Zahleh, or Eagle's nest or Lebanon, and 
here we are still. And this is how it all 
came about. 

To Miss Harriette Mollison Eddy of 
Sidon, Syi"ia. Wedding at Beirut, 
Aug. 20, 1888. 

4. Three children, two little gii'ls 
still with us and one little boy in heav- 
en. Thos-e of '83 who have stood over 



little graves know the meaning of that 
last brief phrase. 

Jeannette Ives Hoskins, born at Sugul, 
Gharb, Sept. 28, 1889. Horace Eddy 
Hoskins, born, Sugul Gharb, June 20, 
1891, died Sugul Gharb, Aug., 3, 1891. 
Clara Bradley Hoskins,^ born, Zahleh, 
Nov. 1, 1892. 

To those who remember me best as 
standing on my head, walking on my 
hands, turning a "back-away" for the 
bar, or somersault between the trapeze, 
I may say that Jeannette is a "chip 
off the old block." She is a sunny little 
Syrian maiden and she began to i"ide 
before her father when she was nine 
months old. She speaks Arabic better 
than I can ever hope to do and of 
course English as well as I could at her 
age. 

Clara is a "kicker", at two months 
and I have great hopes that she will 
follow in Jeannette's footsteps. 

Both are good, and in that resemble 
their father — sic! 

5. I am an Independent. 

I believe in Free Trade. 

I do not believe in the free coinage of 
silver. 

T believe that Immigration ought to 
be regulated and many refused admit- 
tance though I am sure that any at- 
tempt at such will be thorney work. 

I do not believe in Prohihition as a 
' third party movement," much as I 
favor Prohibition. It would be a nar- 
row plank on which to rest a national 
party. 

Alas! I could not vote in 1892. 

I think that the American people are 
threatened with danger from Immigra- 
tion, from ignorant Catholic fox'eignerS; 
and from the Jesuits. Our safety lies 
in our common school system and the 
great work of all Evangelical churches. 

I have not fovind it hard to walk 
withi;i Presbyterian lines. I see less 
and le^s reason for these prickly wire 
fences which separate Evangelical de- 
nominations. The best possible base 



-§9- 



of imiou will be that of honest Christ- 
ian work, doing good to all men. 

I have written many newspaper and 
magazine articles and no books except 
account books. Some of my articles 
gave me an honorable election as mem- 
ber of the Victoria Institute or Philos- 
ophy Society of Great Britain. Very 
little gold has rolled into my coffers 
but I have enjoyed litcrar}^ work and 
only wish I had more time for such 
things. 

7. M.v travels are rehearsed in the 
Sexennial and since I have not been out 
of Syria since then I cannot add much 
to that record. I have continued mj' 
mountain climbing by winter and by 
summer and have had more than one 
thrilling experience in storm and sun- 
shine. In this good year of 1892 I have 
spent nearljr 200 days in the saddle, fac- 
ing all weathers and riding at all hours 
of the day and night. My strength 
holds out and I am happy in my work. 

If some one of the nabobs of '83 will 
send me an invitation with a good sized 
check in it I will attend the World's 
Fair and '83 Decennial also. But in the 
abseuoc of the cluck 1 must stay in my 
mountain home. 

8. I am not a member of any Alum- 
ni Club. I .shall never fail to try and 
send good men to Princeton, but I can- 
not promise to form an Alumni Assoc- 
iation just now!! 

t) I will liike a copy of the Ueconi 
pictures or no pictures. If I can se- 
cure a picture of myself in time I shall 
send it along. 

10. I have not seen an '83 man for 
live yeai's and so cannot add any items. 

The foUowing wliich explains itself, 
we insert here knowing the Cla.ss will 
follow with interest Fi'ank as he goes 
about his work. 

Dear Dr. Gillespie, Secretary For- 
eign Board of Missions: — This waning 
month of Dec, '92, coupled with Sec- 
tion 33 of the Manual reminds me that it 
is time to make ray annual "confession" 



to the Board. I suppose I must present 
a plain unvarnished tale leaving all de- 
ductions and inferences to other times 
and places. 

I shall begin with my mercies. I have 
enjoyed excellent health and have not 
known an hour of sickness. I have not 
l^ostponed a journey or changed a plan 
on account of wind or weather and God 
has brought me safely through dangers 
seen and unseen. 

Because my colleague is still immers- 
ed in the swamps and entangled in the 
snares of Arabic grammar, I have will- 
ingly borne the greater jjart of the sta- 
tion work. 

The treasury and all book accounts, 
with the care of mission property, the 
secular work of the station has fallen 
almost wholly to my care. 

I have preached at 43 regular Sunday 
services with prayer meetings and vil- 
lage conferences innumerable. 

I have conducted 9 communion ser- 
vices and have baptized 10 little child- 
ren. It has so happened that I have 
not officiated at either a wedding or a 
funeral. 

I have a record of 106 visits to our 
own outstations where my stay varied 
from a few hours to six or seven days. 
I visited also some 10 stations of the 
Sidon field. 

My recofd of native calls mainly in L. 
reaches 327, a number well within the 
actual facts. I have entertained callers 
innumerable at the expense of time, 
patience and other work. 

I preached once in English to the 
students of the Syrian Protestant Col- 
lege. At the invitation of the Sidon Sta- 
tion I delivered the annual address at 
the Seminary Commencement in May. 

I have given 8 magic lantern enter- 
tainments in as many of our outstations 
and one at the Seminary and Academy 
in Sidon. 

I have assisted at the direction of the 
union in the revision of the Schedule of 
of Studies now used in nearly all our 
mission schools. 



—40— 



Government troubles have cost me 
not less than four months harassing and 
trying work with frequent journeys to 
Baalbec, Damascus and Barab. God 
opened very vmexpected doors of deliv- 
erance and gave me success. It cost 
many rebuffs and insults, many days of 
riding in the heat aud dust of summer, 
during a pei'iod of two months to reop- 
en the Ras Baalbec school which was 
legally closed in the hope that we would 
pay tribute. For 18 months we have 
been trying for permission to repair 
aud reroof the schools in Jedutha and 
Seyhbrie. Just six days ago we finish- 
ed the new iron roof at Jedutha and 
we have partly succeeded in Seyhbrie. 
This Government business does seem 
the most unnecessary as it is certainly 
the most trying of all our experiences. 

The days of the year 1892 are said to 
be 365 — I could not accept that were it 
not on the very best authority, since 
they have flown like lightning by me. 
I have taken no vacation and have 
spent all those days within the bounds 
of missions. I made two visits, one of 
15 and another of 18 days to the Sidon 
field helping Mr. Ford in the absence 
of Mr. Eddy. 

My diary tells me that of the 365 days 
I spent 199 outside of Zahleh, sleeping 
159 nights away from my own home. I 
spent 9 days beside in Quarantine in or- 
der to attend the annual meeting of last 
February. These days and nights away 
from home were not spent in palace 
hotels or sleeping cars, but in places of- 
ten damp and cold and rarely comfor- 
table or clean. 

My journeys have carried me over 
2,400 miles, 3,100 of which were made 
in the saddle in all weathers and at all 
hours of the day and night. 

My heart sinks at the meanness of the 
few facts that are tangible, not to men- 
tion sorrow at the meagreness and the 
still more intangible nature of the re- 
sults. It is not the things accomplished 
that have cost most, but the knowledge 



of the many things left undone and the! 
things apparently within reach and yet 
unattainable. I leave the results with 
God and bear willing witness to the 
constant joy and growing preciousness 
of the service for such a Blessed Master 
whom not having seen we love. 

I have published some 10 articles in 
the periodicals and have written some 
20 letters to Churches and Bands. 

Ho^vell, George C. 




GEORGE C. HOWELL. 

Our good natured, smiling Here, 
surprised the Secretary one day in Al- 
bion by a visit, and was given a warm 
welcome as every '83 man finds waiting 
him. Here, has developed and we were 
delighted to see him. He "tells us of 
himself" in these bi'ief sentences: 

Dear Rudd: On my return from a 
business trip I find yours of the 25th 
inst awaiting me and not being able to 
withstand the look of long suffering 
patience in "half tone" on your "3d 
and Last Call," immediately seize your 
examination paper and start in. 



-41— 



t'irst. Our home as last reported is 
No. 286 Roseville Ave., Newark, N. J., 
and the latch string is always out. 

Business same. Imported wines and 
wholesale liquors. If success is count- 
ed in dollars I am still after it. 

Third. Married Sept 28th, 1886 at 
Newai'k, N. J. to Mary Alice Streit. 

Fourth. Richard Streit Howell, 
born Aug. 1st, 1887; died March 4th, 
1890. George Samuel Howell, born 
Aug. 25th, 1889; second edition of his 
daddy but a sturdy little fellow and 
hope the handicap will not be too much 
for him; Princeton, 1909. Katharyn 
Howell, born Dec. 10th, 1891; just like 
her mother a.ndjust right. 

Fifth. Politics: I'm a Republican 
first perhaps because my father was 
before me, and because I think the 
leaders of the Republican Party are 
brainier men and better fitted to look 
after the financial and commercial in- 
terests of the country. I also think 
there is more education and truer 
American spirit in the rank and file of 
the Republican Party. 

I believe in a fair protective taritt", a 
paper currency always redeemable at its 
face value in gold, with silver coinage 
sufticient to meet the requii-ements of 
commerce, an unlimited silver coinage 
I believe will send gold to a premium 
and create a commercial panic. 

Prohibition is beautiful as a theory 
but I have seen how it does not work 
in Maine, Iowa and Kansas. 

Voted for Harrison and Reid. Pres- 
byterian. 

Sixth. No book, no office, no glory, 
but after the dust like four-fifths of the 
present generation; and Seventh, have 
been over the greater part of the Unit- 
ed States looking for it. Expect to at- 
tend the World's Fair, and health per- 
mitting, will surely attend '83's Decen- 
nial.

GEORGE B. JENNISON. 

In his steady plodding way, charac- 
teristic of college days, Jenny passes 
his life in Chicago. He is a successful 
broker in grain and stocks, and is evi- 
dently a confirmed bachelor both from 
principle and habit. He is with Geo. 
C. Waller & Co., 98 Board of Trade. 

Jones, ^Wm. Goodrich 

No. '83 man has done more for the 
country in which he has settled than 
"Our Billy". He is President of the 
National Bank in Temple, Texas; Pres. 
of the Y. M. C. A. which he helped to 
found,— and holds many positions of 
, honor and trust. We regret not to 
have his phiz to note the mature and 
growing man.— Hear ye him! 

"Your sweet mug to hand, will crown 
you queen of the May. Don't run any 
"Patient Sec" on me— I've borne with 
you, oh! so patiently. You should see 
my medals. The "W. Goodrich Jones 
oratory medals" given every year to 



-42— 



graduating class,Pablic School, one to 
boy and one to girl. Big oratory contest 
in our Opera House. Remind you of 
the J. O. I then award the medals to 
slow music. We have big times in this 
young town — 7000 people hei'e now 
and still a coming. I'm an old citizen. 
My boy is 16 months old and can say 
"Fresh fire round the cannon-fresh- 
fresh-fresh." 

I believe in an infinite God and the 
answering of prayers. I was long 
sceptical of this latter, but have had 
signal and to me unmistakable answers. 
Of course my so called "answers" can 
be reasoned away, but I think it more 
unreasonable to attempt to do this than 
to accept them. 

Politics. Am for Cleveland; only 
want protection for revenue and infant 
industries. Bimetallic special basis. 
1 fear, above all evils the Roman Cath- 
olic eliorts to pull down our public 
schools. I believe in high license. I 
believe in crushing politically all afiili- 
ated with Tammany. I write occasion- 
ally to the Galveston News. Can't say 
how readable they are but they print 
them. 

Am considei'ed in Texas the "leading 
crank" on forestry and tree plautiug. 
I organized "Arbor Day" in this slaie. 

I enclose a lullaby rhyme of my recent 
muse, I also pat it to music, which I 
think beats the words. Young William 
Goodrich is the muse inspired. I will 
be at the World's Fair — babe, wile and 
Penates. 

I travel quite a good deal. Was 
wrecked in the Gulf of Mexico several 
jfears back — on the coral reefs of tl e 
old Fort "Dry Tortugas." Got safely to 
Key West, Fla., in a "wreckers" fishing 
smack. 

We are talking of organizing an Al- 
umni Association in Texas. 

Yes will take a book at $3 to $5" 

I hope dear Ruddy this will satisfy 
j^our cravings — may be it is too much if 
so, run your pencil through. Hope all 



fares well with you. I see Royle Is 
married. All lovely with me and mine. 
Am very busy and very happy. 

Billy sends an interesting P. S. as 
follows, dated May 1.'93 

I lived in Galveston at first, attending 
to my fathers ,landed estate in Texas. 
Have caught fail- "succes." Greatest 
strike was the girl I got, and young 
"Texas Billy," who is about a year old. 
I married Zollie Luther, daughter of 
Rev. J. H. Luther, D. D., President ol 
Baylod (Texas) Female College— (Bap- 
tist). 

Am a Presbyterian, although I have 
built a Baptist Mission Chapel in 
Temple and attend it. I don't believe 
in the dogmas— doubts and "isms" 
that divide up the Protestant church. 

Later. The sad message reaches us 
that Billy's bright boy died May 6th, 
1893.

It will be remembered that Duck as 
the presiding genius at 3 North East,

started way down ou the ground floor 
of the synagogue, but he has been going 
up higher ever since. 

The four years of his first pastorate at 
Manchester N. H. were spent pleasantly 
to him and profitably to his people, 
while for the last three years he has 
been enjoying a most happy and fruit- 
ful ministry at the West Elnd Presby- 
terian Church of Albany N Y. Nor is 
he less happy in his domestic life, hav-

for "Benjamin" in 1888 and 1892, hence 
I am a Republican on National issues, 
with strong leanings toward Pi'ohibi- 
tion when the will of the people is ready 
to make Prohibition prohibit. 

Intemperance and the spirit of gamb- 
ling are the two gi'eat evils that threat- 
en our country. A quickened pulpit 
ought to act as a remedjr." 

"My pen has been a busy one although 
as yet I have been slow to rush into 
print. 

My travels have been simply vacation 
trips North to the White Mountains, 
South to Virginia, West to the Dakotas. 

I expect to attend the World's Fair 
and will be "there" at the Decennial 
Reunion. 

I am a member of the Albany Alumni 
Club. 

"Albany. — Nineteen were added to 
the memljership of the West End Pres- 
byterian Church, Albany, April 6th, 
Rev. George N. Earner pastor. At a 
recent congregational meeting it was 
decided to increase the pastor's salary, 
to enlarge, I'eseat, and beautify the pres- 
sent church structure, and arrangements 
were made looking forward to the pur- 
chase of a pai'souage. The congrega- 
tion about doubled its contributions to 
missions the past year. The outlook is 
very encouraging." 



The above is taken from the "N. Y. 
Evangelist" of May 11th 1893 and we re- 
joice deeply with dear old "Duck Kar- 
ner." 

Kellar. John L. 

Kellar takes the request of the Sec'y 
literally and uses only one page in an- 
swering the questions. — He is pursuing 
that steady, strong course, which, while 
not always brilliant, is sure to bring 
success. The brevity of his answers 
detracts nothing from it although the 
class would gladly hear more from John 
— He says: — 

1. 76 Montgomery St., Jei'sey City N. 
J. In J. C. since grad. 

2. Practicing law. Success moderate. 

3. No. Getting too old now. 

4. None. 

5. Democrat (ou National issues). 
Favor taritt' for revenue only. 
Don't believe in Prohib. as 3d party. 
Voted for Cleveland in '92. 
Religious afiiliations not as strong as 
they ought to be. 

7. Hope to attend World's Fair and 
'83's Decennial. 

8. N. Y. City Alumni and Club. 

9. Favor pictures. 

P. S. Don't expect these answers will 
bring me either 1st or 2d prize. 

Landis, Rev. Evan H. 

The East was too dull and slow for E., 
whose "hustling propensities" in col- 
lege led him to seek the far West. After 
graduating from Princeton Seminary in 
'86 he was successively in Collegeville, 
Pa. ; Ponca Springs, Col ; and Neokesha, 
Kan.; and is at present a pastor of a 
church at Linden, Mich, Mirabile Dictu 
Evan was married April 30, '88, to Miss 
Emily Homer at Collegeville, Pa. He 
said: "You ask my reason for predica- 
ment. Reason enough. My wife. I 
fell in love with her." For one year E. 
was professor of Hebrew and History in 
Ursiuus College. He has sent one man 
to Princeton. Evan is now preaching 
at Linden, Mich. (Reprint from 1889.)

Landis, Rev. Henry M.*t 




REV. HENRY M. LANDIS. 

Just as we were "going to press," in 
fact after we had read the proof, the 
mail bi'ought us the appended latest 
news from Henry. He also sent Lis 
photograph which was to late for inser- 
tion. Henry writes this from Tokio, 
Japan: 

' 'At length though a little late I shall 
try to respond to your call which came 
a few weeks ago. My excuse for not 
responding at once, is that at the time 
typhoid and diptheria (in light form) 
made their claims. Since relieved from 
these visitors I hastened to get the de- 
sired photo, which I send along to your 
address. 

Without however making demands 
upon your busy time, I hasten to apply 
myself to the examination paper drawn 
up by you, much afraid indeed that you 
may find my answers greatly below par. 
Hope you'll not be too severe in mark- 
ing. 

1. My present address is Meiji Gak- 
nin, Tokyo, Japan. Places I'esided in 



since graduation areas follows: Cole- 
brookdale, Berks Co., Pa.; Berlin, Ger- 
many; Princeton, N. J.; Bloomfield, N. 
J.; Kamenz, Saxony, Germany; Tokyo, 
Japan (five years now). 

2. First, teacher in German Theolo- 
gical School at Bloomfield. At present 
a missionary under the American Pres- 
byterian Board of Foreign Missions, 
mainly engaged in teaching in one of 
its institutions, the Meiji Gaknin. 

The ' 'success" is hard to fix or gauge 
under the circumstances. I have not 
yet by any means succeeded to satisfac- 
tion in conquering the Japanese lang- 
uage, undoubtedly the hardest task ever 
set for me as well as reputed to be the 
most dilficult language to subjugate. 
A native Japanese can no doubt ac- 
quire a better mastery of English, say, 
in four years than of his own language, 
though raised and educated in it, in 
fourteen years. 

In general, work has been pleasant 
enough here, hard and unceasing as the 
effort may be under many disadvant- 
ages. Lately I have been indirectly in- 
strumental in getting Chas. Gorei "In- 
carnation of our Lox'd," on the way in- 
to a Japanese dress. Work ranges here 
thi-ough language work. Evangelistic 
efforts, architectural efforts (quite a 
number of these through Tokyo, in 
Sendai, Kyato,Kobe and even to Korea) 
teaching along lines of Psychology, 
Logic, Astronomy, Greek, German, 
Gospel History, Exegesis of New Testa- 
ment Epistles, and a number of other 
lines at times, enough for an ordinary 
man in most cases. Various secretary- 
ships have also made demands on my 
time. 

3. I happen to be a married man, 
married to Mrs. ^Landis, nee. Emma 
Stiefler, on July 16, 1888, in Kamenz, 
Saxony, civil and church ceremony, so 
securely locked, in Lessing's Church, a 
building dating from the 12th century. 

4. Children as follows; 

I. Fritz Wilhelm, born May 11, '89, 



—45— 



Tokyo, died Feb. 17, '92 of tubercular 
meningitis, aged 2 years, 9 months and 
6 days. Lived long enough to show 
many marked traits of great beauty and 
depth especially in artistic apprecia- 
tion. The departure of the beautiful 
little life was felt most deeply aud 
many friends he had made brought 
their tributes. 

II. Eleanor May, born Jan. 9, '91, 
in many regards a reproduction of her 
elder brother. A bud of much promise. 

III. Paula Margaretha, born Nov. 
11, '92, much praised for her personal 
qualities as far as they have appeared. 

5. Not being in the U. S. my politics 
are not so partisan as to be easily in- 
chided in a name. A Republican by 
j)reference and in view of history, Ijut 
opposed to its boasted protective policy 
in many respects. Would probably 
join the Mugwumps if they suited me. 
Democratic record not clear enough to 
suit. Like Cleveland's strong attitude 
on silver, knowing by experience in a 
silver country what a financial degra- 
dation it means. The U. S. have 
nothing statesmanlike yet on Immigra- 
tion or Exclusion, obeying only the 
clamors raised by low passions. Pro- 
hibition is right, no doubt, but seems to 
do best as a moral force simply. Would 
have voted for Harrison most likely. 
Riches may prove a snare for America. 
The silver craze certainly is in the way 
of sound policy. "Missiouaiy" of the 
American Presbyterian Board indicates 
religious affinities. 

6. Have been guilty of none of these 
offenses. 

7. My ti'avels between college and 
seminary course are sufficiently known 
no doubt. My joui'ney to my present 
home was a great and gi'and wedding 
trip, which also is familiar to all who 
care to know perhaps. Leaving New 
Yoi'k on June 21, 1888, I arrived at 
Hamburg and reached Berlin the fol- 
lowing day, the glorious 4th of July, 
where I hailed Dr. Carmen, '83 and 



Simmons and Jack of Seminary fame, 
and Wilson (Sem. too I think). Dres- 
den and Kamenz saw me the next day, 
where I had to wait for the Saxon 
King's good pleasure and special dis- 
pensation before the ceremonies could 
go on, uncertain indeed whether His 
Royal Highness would allow me to 
steal away one of the daughters of his 
realm. The 16th found all ready how- 
ever, and all was done amid circum- 
stances, as Carmen could describe, the 
only '83 man present, and the only 
American except two. Thence through 
Saxony to the Riesengebirge, Bohemia, 
etc., and back again. Thence through 
the length of Gei'many and the beauties 
of Switzerland and Northern Italy, 
brought us to our embarkation point, 
Venice, whence from Aug. 17th to 
Sept. 24th the sea was our landscape, 
except such glimpses as were afforded 
by Ancoma, Brindisi, Port Said, Suez 
Canal, Red Sea, Aden, Colambo, Pen- 
ary, Singapore, Hong Kong and the 
approaches of Japanese coast, especial- 
ly Fuji San, the Peerless. 

The World's Fair seems out of reach 
of a poor missionary's pocket except- 
ing such as hare fortunate furloughs 
enough. I am an unfortunate. 

'83 Decennial Reunion, ditto. 

8. No Princeton Alumni Club out 
here, though we may be many enough 
in Japan to have one. The prime 
object, — to influence new students for 
Princeton, — is not an encouraging pros- 
pect here. 

9. I hope to get a Record, whether 
it cost $1.50 or $5,00, and shall try to 
remember then to reimburse you for 
the last, which neglect was an inad- 
vertence. 

10. Of classmates I see the most of 
none, and hear but little of any. Hence 
can't reply to this question. Princeton 
men of other classes however are abun- 
dant out here, of whom I may instance 
the venerable Dr. Hepburn, (lately re- 
turned) Dr. Imbrie, Mr- MacNair, (of 



-46— 



foot ball fame) Mr. Piersou '82, Mr. 
Woodhull '84 (big as life) and others, 
especially of the seminary. 
N. B. Please notice that I do not intend 
to compete for yonr prizes. I hope 
my i"eply will reach you in time yet. 
Am sorry to have dela3^ed so \ov.g. 
Much success to you in working up the 
record, and a great deal to all at the 
Decennial Reunion. Should like to be 
there but can't. 

Lewis, Lucius A.*t 

"Lucy" writes us from Philadelphia 
dated Jan. 18, '93 whillier he had gone 
to receive medical treatment. The 
men who have visited Portlaiu! speak 
of the cordial and princely hospitality. 
which Lewis so generously extends 
"Lucy the class wish for you every 
possible gain in health and avoirdupois 
and -hope to see you at the reunion. 
The song Lewis sings is in the key of a 
sharp, as of old, viz: 

My dear Rudd: For several months 
I have been away from home and I 
have failed to get the circular which 
you doubtless sent me. Bryant gave 
me a copy however a day or two ago. 
T have nothing in particular to tell you 
that would add much to the interest 
and value of the Record. Have been 
in Portland most of the time following 
the same course of existence as noted 
in the past Records; with the exception 
of an occasional trip or two. Have 
been here several months taking a 
course of treatment as I had run down 
a bit in health during the last few 
years. 

Have not had a Photo taken in some 
time but will send you one if I get stout 
enough in the face and body to war- 
rant having one taken. 

My address is as usual, care Allen 
and Lewis, Portland, Oregon. 

I wish you success with the Record. 



Libbey, Frederick A.*t 




FREDERICK A. LIBBEY. 

From his brother and from Rutan 
we learn that Fred has gone from 
Montclair N. J., where he has been 
living for some time, and is now in 
Chicago with the A. T. & S. Fe R. R. 
Co. in the Monadnock Building. 

Fred is married, but when, where 
and to whom, we know not. 

Life, Jobn C. 

After repeated attempts we have not 
yielded up the ghost, but only failure 
has been the result of our attempt to 
find Life. We hear he is at Traer, 
Iowa. Brace up Life and write us. 



McKiiigbt, Robert Jr. 

Bob who was always a general favor- 
ite died at Montecito, Cal. Feb. 14, 
1889. A full account of his life is given 
in the Triennial Record. 



—47- 



Merry weather, Thos. A.* 

The most recent infonuatioa we have 
of Merryweather is that he was in 1889 
in business at Huntington, Pa. Further 
inforniation regarding him will be glad- 
ly received. 

Mitchell, Benjamin W. Ph. D. 

Mitchell lias replied so lully and ac- 
curately to the interrogatories as to I'e- 
call one of those faultless recitations 
that he used to make in "Lambano." 
rhe following is an extract: 
'Your latest deliverance at hand and 
s|)urre<l on Ijy the munilicent offer of a 
nice lit le prize to the spiciest boy of 
our dandy little class, [ hasten to till 
out my physicial, mental, and spiritual 
description list. I greatly fear that if 
our good secretary is on the lookout for 
spice, he had better send his blanks to 




l>It. BEN.JAMIM W. MITCHELL. 

Wellcsley or Vassar; for according to 
the old jingle it is not a component of 
the masculine nature. By this rhyme 
little girls are "sugar, and spice, and 
everything nice," while we are "but 
snaps, and snails and puppy dog tails." 



but here goes: nee bona morer, nee 
dona videbo. "Drop your idea in the 
slot and pull out a record," says the 
Secretary. That's all right; but we of 
the "hoipolloi" have no chance in com- 
petition of wit with the diplomatic 
Crouse who was selected to kick us out 
into the cold, cold world; or the potent, 
grave, and reverend Petty, the peram- 
bulating bureau of statistics; or the scin- 
tillating luminosity of the blizzard-born- 
Yard, who "lets his light so shine" as to 
rake in boundless sheckels from the 
giver of Metropolitian political light; 
oi- those heroes of the tropics and the 
pole, C. Wilson and Bryant, or last, but 
not least, that electrically illumined 
fountain of poesy, Perrine, whose 
sentimental journey to the Windy City 
knocks that of Lawrence Sterne into a 
cocked hat. But to the interrogations. 

1. My present permanent addre>-s is 
14(j Franklin St., Alleghany, Pa. Have 
li\ ed in Alleghany ever since gradua- 
tion. 

2. I have followed the profession of 
teaching. I established a preparatory 
school in Alleghanj^ which I have re- 
cently transferred to Pittsburg. The 
East Liberty Academy yearly sends 
students to all our prominent colleges — 
most of them, I am happy to say, to 
Princeton. As to the catching of suc- 
cess, there are too many shades of mean- 
ing attached to that word to give a defi- 
nite answer. I may state, however, 
that 1 have not become a millionaire, 
have not become famous, and have not 
starved. 

8. I was married on Dec. '61, 1884, at 
Cundjerland, Md., to Miss Annia Lee 
Edwards. As she is still in excellent 
health and has not yet applied for a di- 
vorce, I believe I can safely state that I 
am a married man. 

4 ! 

5- I am — or have been hither to — a 
Republicau, because I believe that the 
principles of this party will, if honestly 
applied, conduce to the growth, pro- 



—48— 



gress and prosperity of the nation and 
because I see what the application of 
these principles has done for the country 
since 1861. I am a Protectionist, be- 
cause, while I freely admit that Free 
Trade is the ideal basis of the inter-re- 
lation of nations, I hold that the human 
race and its actions and best interests 
can never be regulated by theory. What 
we need is that theories be modified or 
CTien brushed away to suit the practical 
needs of industry. Granting even that 
the tariff is a tax, what method can be 
preferred to that which, while resting as 
an infinitesimal on all, gives a means of 
support — to hundreds of thousands." 
(Alas! after all these years Benny seems 
to think he is passing an examination 
on political economy under "Chi'is'' 
Hamilton.) As to silver, I believe the 
question will continue to disturb our 
finances till settled in some way by the 
concurrent action of the U. S. and the 
great nations of Europe. We cannot 
manage the question alone. I niost em- 
phatically do not believe in Prohibition 
as a third party movement. I voted in 
1893 for Harrison. The only serious 
danger I can see before the American 
people is the labor problem, the phases 
of which are too numerous to partic- 
ularize. I leave the remedies for time 
to suggest and wire pulling politicians 
to apply. As to religious affiliations, I 
am a member of the Presbyterian 
Church. 

6. Have written a little, but not of a 
sufficient importance to chronicle. 
Have filled no office and don't want to. 
Am a member of the Royal Arcanum, 
the Western Pennsylvania Society for 
University Extension, the Western 
Union of Pittsburg. Have taken the 
Ph. D. 

7. As to travels, we'll leave those to 
"Tape" Byrant. Mine have been lim- 
ited to sundry trips outside of civiliza- 
tion (approximately speaking") (He 
probably refers to Cumberland, Md., 
the old home of his uncle, "Lord 
John.") 



Moore, Russell ^V.* 

Since graduation "Rusty" has chiefly 
resided in New York City. He writes 
that he has pursued the profession of 
"analytical chemist" serving the New 
York State Dairy Commission in that 
capacity. Had charge of the testing 
of Sugar at the Port of New York until 
sugar was made free by the McKinley 
law. Since then have been examiner 
of drugs, chemicals and dyestuffs in 
the Appraisers departments. Am also 
a member of the New York custom 
Board of Civil Service Examiners. Not 
married, can cite no reason good or 
otherwise. May be I am to young." 

''He is a Republican, Protectionist 
and opposed to "free coinage". Does 
not believe in Prohibition as a political 
issue. The work sought to be done is 
a matter of education which should be 
accomplished through the school and 
church." 

"Have been an office holder ever 
since leaving Princeton, first as chemist 
to the New York State Daii-y Commis- 
sion up to July 1888 and from that time 
examiner of chemicals under the U. S. 
Appraiser at New York. Am also a 
member of the New York Customs Civil 
Service Board. Have written some 
papers of a scientific nature for chemi- 
cal journals. Am a member of the 
University Club and Princeton Club of 
New York and of some Masonic bodies; 
was master of Merchants' Lodge No., 
709 in 1889. The only thing in the na- 
ture of glory I can recall is the thanks 
of the U. S. Civil Service Commission 
for the examination of some chemical 
papers which were a matter of protest 
and were submitted to me for final re- 
port. 

My travels have been principally 
around New York State with occasional 
trips South and East. One summer 
(1884) was spent in England and Scot- 
land. Will possibly attend the World's 
Fair, and '83 Decennial surely. 

Am content to leave the details of 



—49— 



the Record to the Committee and will 
thankfully accept at any price what- 
ever they may decide to issue." 

Morgan, David Percy 

Percy tucks our queries under his 
arm and starts out for a touchdown. 

My dear Rudd: Siuce I met you on 
the train, I have been working hard 
for a permanent address, having done 
nothing but wander about ever siuce 
'83. That address is 106 East 37th St. 
New York City, I hope. 1 have resided 
in New York, Washington and New 
York again. Then I left these parts 
for the West having taken a previous 
trip through every State in the Union 
with Taber. Tal)er thought ho would 
like to settle in some small town of 
10,000 inhabitants where he coidd be 
the man of the place. The poetry of 
his resolutions completely vanished 
after he had seen these small towns. 
Poor Taber, aftcu- standing so high in 
Granny Hunt's specialties his sensitive 
ear could not submit to the mutilated 
English of the Western small town, and 
the peculiar methods (d" placing their 
feet on their desks above the horizontal 
with coats oiT, and cigars to boot. Last 
but not least, no music. This trip with 
Taber was a grand one and I enjoyed 
every moment of it. We met Lucy 
Lewis in Portland and he treated us 
royally. 1 dropped Tal)er at Chicago 
where he has remained, and came East 
fully imbued with the Western fever. 
I am afraid this does not speak well for 
my sensitive nature after the above ac- 
count. However I was fortunate 
enough to become married to Miss 
Edith Parsons, Oct. 7th 1886 at Lenox, 
Mass. who was willing to try the 
West. We travelled every where on 
this side and. were very much tempted 
to settle in Salt Lake City, Clair Royle 
was so nice and kind to us there. Ed 
was on a "Starring" trip and we missed 
him. The fates called us nevertheless 



to Chicago where I tried mercantile life. 
I walked myself to a shadow, and that 
is all I had to show for it. It is not my 
nature to do this sort of thing very long 
so I dropped mercantile life after 18 
months drudgery. I was very strongly 
impressed with Chicago as a center, 
and did not want to leave the place. I 
thought the Real Estate business ought 
to have its advantages. I went in and 
have not yet lived to regret it. After 
remaining three years in Chicago, I 
drifted back to the East and here I am 
in the Real Estite business in this city 
as well as the West. I have two 
daughters, one born in Chicago Nov. 
13, 1888, Helen by name, the other 
Edith Percy, born Nov. 9, 1891. My 
politics have not changed. I do not 
sympathize with the third party move- 
ment. After knocking around as much 
as I have, I take a very optimistic view 
of the condition of tlie American peo- 
ple. Outside of some possible currency 
complications T can see no dangers 
ahead. Congress can apply the rem- 
edy. Have joined the Chicago Literary 
Club and the American Public Health 
Association. Shall use every etitort to 
go to the Fair. Was a member of the 
Chicago Alumni Association. Am a 
member of the Princeton Club. Have 
seen a great deal of all the Chicago '83 
men, except Jennison and ha^e broken 
my back in assisting to put through the 
great New Whig Hall. Am also very 
much interested in the New Hotel at 
Princeton. 

Murdock, J. G. 

Undoubtedly there is no member of 
'83 in regard to whom his classmates 
are more desirous to obtain informa- 
tion than "Jack." Yet his letter in 
proportion to its length contains even 
fewer facts than Fred Rutan's. It 
shows that Jack has the same spirit 
as of yore when he offered to bet 
the Teutonic member of the faculty the 
beer as to a point in German syntax.

received from said pr()fes>ior 4J disord- 
er marks and yet at thi^ emi of t!ie 
term compelled the descendant of the 
martyred Huss to gWid liiin a grade of 
100. Jack lias been v^ery successful as 
a teacher aud has taiijihl for sevei'al 
years in -'The Troy Polytechuie." The 
study of Greek at college eugeiidered 
in Jack such a desire to emulate Achil- 
les, etc., that he seems only to be satis- 
fied when terrorizing the modern Troj- 
an youths. Jack writes as follows: 
"2013 Fifth Ave., Troy, N. Y. 

March 2, 1893. 
My Dear Rudd: I have positively 
nothing of the slightest interest to any 
one that needs insertion in the Decen- 
nial Record. I suppose you must have 
somewhere the material you gathered 
for the Sexennial. To that you might 
add as P. S. to the following effect: 
"I am increased in age by four years 
since the above was written." It seems 
that there are "as to" the locks of our 
modern Trojiin assailauf'silver threads 
among the gold" 



The tale of the same is of no special 
interest to any but the teller. Let it 
then not appear further. 

Fraternally yours, 

J. G. MURDOCK. 

Occupation and procrastin a t i o n 
(chiefly the latter together with the 
knowledge that "youd" not to be held 
to bondage on my "biog.") explain 
why you have not received this at an 
earlier date.

RICHARD NOKRIS. 

Our feather weight in athletics gives 
the following laconic reply: 

"I send you a few brief answers and 
will send my photograph later. 

1. Chestnut Hill, Phila., where I 
have always lived. 

2. Am a clerk and moderately suc- 
cessful. 

3. Am not married. 

5. Am a Democrat and voted in '92 
for Cleveland. 

7. Will attend the World's Fair aud 
the Reunion.

9. Will take a Record. 

10. Duaue and Byraut." 

Osborn, William C 

In the ease of the Class Secretary vs. 
Osborn, Billy prepared his brief as fol- 
lows: 

1. Have resided at Garrison's, N. Y., 
Cambridge, Mass. and New York. My 
business address is 70 Wall St,, N. Y. 
and residence 135 E. 36th St. 

3. My occui)ation has been i^aw, 
with side issues of Charitable Society 
aiul Politics. Cannot s.iy that 1 have 
"eauglit siicctss," if yon mean by tjiat 
taking a position in the worhl. I think 
I have succeeded in obtaining and re- 
taining the respect of my neighbors; 
that I have more self control than form- 
erly, and that I have better powers for 
my work or play; so I am partly satis- 
fied. 

3. Married Miss A. C. H Dodge, 
June 3, 18>j5. 

4. Grace Osliorii, April 5, 188(1 
Frederick Henry Osborn, March 8, 1889. 
Aileen Clinton Hoadley Osborn, June 
29, 1893 

5. Democrat because I l^elicve in 
Home Rule, restriction of Government 
interference, reduction of expenses and 
taritt', government for the mass as o])- 
posed to government for special inter- 
ests, and disbelief in the wisdom of the 
purchase of silver under the Act of 1890. 
I think the tariff should be materially 
reduced; beginning with such articles 
as are most used Ijy the farming classes, 
who are now unjustly discriminated 
against. I think one of the gravest dan- 
gers threatening the American people- 
is indicated by the depreciation in farm 
values, the diminution of farm popula- 
tion and the growing demoralization of 
the farming class. These facts appear 
in New York State, I know, and I sus- 



pect they are found throughout the 
country. I do not believe in prohibi- 
tion and voted for Cleveland and Stev- 
enson. The most specific dangers that 
I sec, are, increasing luxury, the venal- 
ity of voters, and a possible lack of na- 
tional homogeneity arising from unre 
stricted emigration.

MyDearRudd: Your circular letter 
with the same insolent interrogatories 
as of old, is before me, and here goes 
the I'eply. 

My present address is 709 N. 17th St., 
Phila. (This is subject to change — I find 
it is cheaper to move). 

My professional career as the two 
former records will show has been in 
the field of medicine. I am still chas- 
ing "success." Am still single. Not- 
withstanding the recent snow-under I 
am still of the Harrison order of Re- 
publicans and believe in Protection as 
the correct priuei[)a!, from a business 
standpoint for Americans. I am a 
Presbyterian. I am a member of the 
medical oi'ganization in this City and 
in this capacity have written seme pap- 
ers. My travels have been few and not 
noteworthy. 

I hope to attend both '83's decennial 
reunion and the World's Fair. 

I see something of Agnew, Bryant 
and Green. Bryant has been distin- 
guishing himself by his travels and his 
lectures. I witnessed and applauded 
Ned Royle, in his play "Friends" when 
in this City, a little while ago. 

Parmley, Jolin hhirick. 

Parmley turns a double somei'sault 
in his mental gymnasium and landing 
on his fee as he always did, starts for 
the horizontal bar and "dips" as 
follows: 

I have been farming here since gradu- 
ation, having been one year in the 
State Agricultural College, studying 
Agriculture and Chemistry. I married 
Miss Lucy W. MacDonald in New 
Brunswick, N. J., April 8, 1885. I 
throA^ in with any political party that 
can do the most good: I always try to 
put in men and not parties. I am a 
Free Trader. The greatest issue before 
this country is "ProhibUion, not only 
Prohibition of alcoholic beverages, but 
also of anything which is liartnful to 
man." If no other party will take up 



—53- 




JOHN EHRICK PARMLEY. 

these measures, such as are necessary 
for the welfare of the country, I be- 
lieve in a Third Party doing it, 
whether Prohibition or not. I 
voted for Harrison and Reid. Among 
the gi'eatest dangers which threaten 
the American people are the attempts 
of the Roman Catholics to get power, 
and the clashing of Capital and Labor. 
To help remedy these, history and ex- 
perience should be consulted. Once a 
man, not at all religious, but very ob- 
serving and practical, said that the 
Christian religion was the best thing to 
develop a household into the best and 
most useful men and women: it is logi- 
cal to say the same of its effect upon 
the nation. Greater advances have 
been made and greater happiness at- 
tained under the Protestant religion 
than any other While our Constitu- 
tion recognizes no particular religion, 
our Nation does recognize the Protes- 
tant one. Do not force the Bible upon 
the people, the school children, for ex- 
ample, from a sense of religious duty, 
but because of its worth for raakinir 



good citizens, for its historical impor- 
tance, for its literary excellence. I am 
a member of the Presbyterian church. 
I have written many an article for the 
papers, among them being the New 
York ludependant, the New York Ob- 
server, the Paris Visitor, the Country 
Gentleman, the Jersey Bulletin. I am 
a member of the Z. Y. Society, Chair- 
man of the Christian Temperance 
Union of this place, teacher and as- 
sistant Superintendant in the Sunday 
School, Treasurer and Secretary of the 
Board of Trustees of the chui'ch, and 
Elder in the church. The only title I 
have is that of A. M. In my country 
life I am more likely to cover myself 
with ^'■dtist" than with anything else, 
especially in a plowed field. My travels 
have taken rae more into the country 
than into the more crowded places. I 
have often thought in this connection 
what glorious oppoi'tunities for muscle, 
head, heart! For, as we are able to en- 
joy the beau.ies of nature, to make the 
best use of this earth, — to make "The 
desert blossom as Jie rose," we fulfill a 
quite important part of our Creator's 
plan, since he has said that he "Put 
man into the garden of Eden to dress 
it and to keep it." I will attend '83's 
Decennial Reunion. I will take a De- 
cennial Record at whatever cost. Why 
not have the Records oftener? Billy 
Taylor and Finney are those of the 
Class of whom I have seen the most: I 
correspond with Frank Hoskins. 
Whenever I see the face of au '83 man 
or hear from him in any way, I am al- 
ways rejoiced. Oh, classmates, one 
and all, let us so give oui'selves into 
Christ's keeping that we may see each 
others' faces, not only in this world, 
but also in the "Better World P'

Perrirse, Frederic A. C 

Since receiving Fred's letl^r, written 
in Oct. '9i! from Boston we lea:n on 
good authority, that he has accepted a 
Professorship at S( am lord University 
at Palo Alto, Cal., and we heartily con- 
gratulate "Perry" and the class. We 
always believed Fred was truly a gen- 
ius and he added to an even greater 
quality — hard work — and the interven- 
ing years has brought that balance, 
toleration and knowledge of men — all 
of which now make him so well equip- 
ped. — Success to you in all future ven- 
tures and undertakings. Letters may 
reach him at Boston, though when this 
reaches the Class he may be in Califor- 
nia, at Palo Alto. He answers thus: 

1. "Address, F. A. C. Perrine, 620 
Atlantic Ave., Boston, Mass. Have re- 
sided in Newark, Trenton and Boston. 

2. In various positions as Electrical 
Engineer and Assistant Business Man- 
ager. Was two years Assistant Electri- 
cian of U. S. Electric Light Co. of New- 
ark and for two and one-half years 
Manager of the Insulated Wire Depart- 
ment of the John A. Roebling & Co. of 
Trenton and since last May Treasurer 
of the Germanic Electric Co. of Boston. 

3. Am not married. 

6. Have written a good many papers

subjects, some trade catalogues, and 
compiled a hook of electrical tables.

over the eastern states and Canada. 
Expect to attend fair and reunion if 
possible.

of the University Club here, and see 
little prospect of any Alumni Cluo. I 
would take any form of Record you get 
out. My last photogi'aph was taken by 
Pach with '85 at Princeton.

Billy Field and Bert Carman, one of 
whom I visit, and the other visits me 
about once a year. 

Petty, Robert D. 




KOBEKT D PETTY. 

Ever since the day that Bol) got away 
with Pere Lnndis at pitching pennies 
behind old North, he has been looking 
for new woilds to conquer, and how 
well he has succeeded, read his own 
story, though over modestly told. 

My Dear Rudd: I know you have 
an abundance of charity otherwise I 
would not (hire to write you, having 



neglected your message so long. My 
intentions have been good, but I have 
been so busy that I have even lost the 
intei i-ogatories wliich you sent me; but 
will endeavor to answer so far as I can 
recall them. 

My permanent business address is 5 
Beekman street, New York City. The 
main events in my history since 1889 
are as follow.s: 

At tha' time I was a member of a law- 
tirm and also an instructor in Columbia 
College Law School. In 1800 I was ap- 
pointed a professor of private law in 
that school, appointment taking effect 
July 1, 1890, and on that day I with- 
drew from the law firm with which I 
was connected. The next year I re- 
signed my professorshii), my resignation 
taking efl'ect July 1, 1891. Upon the 
organization of the New York Law 
School in June, 1891, I l)ecame one of 
its professors and still hold a professor- 
ship in that school. 

Although the New York Law School 
is not yet two years old, it has 508 stu- 
dents, making it, with th. exception of 
the law school of Michigan University, 
the largest law school in the country. 

Also July 1, 1891, I again entered 
the practit-e of the law and became, 
and still continue a memljer of the firm 
of Lamb. Osborne & Petty, 5 Beekman 
street, in this city. 

In p'-litics, I am and always have 
been a democrat. I devote some atten- 
tion to this subject, looking upon it as a 
kind of past graduate course to my col- 
lege education. 

In religion I am charitably disposed 
towards all denominations, but rather 
inclined toward the Presbyterians be- 
cause they are such great fighters. 

In economics I believe in gradually 
abolishing protection and ultimately 
having a tariff for revenue only. Am 
opposed to free silver. 

I am neither married nor engaged, 
but seem to be destined to go through 
life alone and to pay only a single car 



-S6- 



fare. 1 do not think 1 can give Any 
satisfactory reasons for this lamentable 
condition and I leave it to yon as an 
expert in matrimony to inform me. I 
have thought if I ever got time in the 
future, I w^ould take a month off and 
study up the characteristics of the al- 
lea:ed gentler sex, as my investigations 
have, thus far, been confined to the 
books in preparing to lecture to the 
students upon such subjects, as breach 
of promise to marry, divorce, alimony, 
etc. 

P. S. The following letter vi^ritten 
by Prof. Theodore W. Dvvight in the 
spring of 1891 will be read with inter- 
est by every '83 man, for we all love to 
honor Petty. 

"To whom it may concern: 

This letter is written on behalf of my 
friend, Professor Robert D. Petty, of 
Columbia College Law School. 

I am thoroughly well acquainted 
with Professor Petty, as he was vmder 
my instruction as a student in the Law 
School, having graduated with high 
honor, and having become a prize 
tutor, and later having been my asso- 
ciate in instruction." He showed in the 
Law School, and continues to display, 
rare powers of acquisition of legal 
principles, combined with great accu- 
racy. He is at the same time extreme- 
ly faithful in the discharge of his pro- 
fessional duties and devoted ardentlj'^ 
to his chosen calling. He is in my 
judgment a gentleman of rare promise, 
and likely to combine as he advances 
in yeai's a comprehensive and broad 
acquaintance with principles with a 
thorough knowledge of details. He is 
eminently worthy of the esteem and re- 
gard of any who may need his legal 
services or who may be favored with 
his friendship. 

Theodore W. Dwight." 

Phillips, Furman S. 

Is a lawyer in Philalelphia. He is 
unmarried, but says nevertheless "I still 



have my face turned toward the Rising 
Sun." We presume that is the trade- 
mark used by the father of his adored 
one. Is a Republican and takes an act- 
ive part in politics having made some 
very effective campaign speeches. "If 
the Grand Did Party had not been turn- 
ed down last Fall, I think my chances of 
getting a rich slice of the spoils would 
not have been altogether illusory, how- 
ever, I am quite proud of the record I 
have made for myself — I am feared if 
not loved in my little political world." 
We advise his opponents to get "Ned" 
Peace to assist them. Phillips would 
always insist on singing in chapel and 
"Ned" who sat beside him for the pro- 
tection of the class shut off the melo- 
dies of Phillips "w et armie.'" 

Riclimoiid, Rev. Chas. Alex. * t 




KEY. CHAS. ALEX. RICHMOND. 

"Richie" has been making an honor- 
able reputation and name for himself 
in Western New York. Especially has 
he built up a strong church at East 
Aui"ora near Buffalo. He has built a 
fine new church edifice and a parsonage, 



-57- 



and shows signs of marked growth and 
expansion in his profession. Univer- 
sally beloved by his people and all who 
kaow him, he thus brings honor to the 
Class, and we are sure all will be glad 
to hear him tell of his experiences since 
wn last saw him. 

1. My present address is East Aur- 
ora, New Yoi'k. I have lived here ever 
since I graduated from the Seminary in 
1888. I am still a Presbyterian minis- 
ter and still the Bisliop of East Aurora. 
As to success my work here has gone on 
fairly well and I am contented. What 
more can a fellow ask. 

I was married on June 4, 1891 to Miss 
Sarah Cooper Locke at Buffalo, N. Y. 
Rudd was thex'e, Reynolds and Hodge 
'86 and Yeomans "88 were among the 
ushers and the Princeton cheer was 
conspicuous. 

I am a Republican by birth, educa- 
tion and personal choice. I believe in 
"Protection" and "Bill" McKinley, 
restricted Silver, restricted Immigra- 
tion, Civil Service Reform and High 
License. I voted for Harrison and 
Reid in 1893. 

There are dangers too numerous to 
to mention threatening the American 
people. The remedy for most of them 
is Edtication upon the sound and pro- 
gressive principles taught and applied 
in Old Nassau. 

I am a member of the Monday Club 
and of the Liberal Club of Buffalo. 

No glory — not much dust. Have 
written a few magazine articles and 
lectured at Chautauqua on "Church 
Music." 

In the spring and summer of 1892 I 
travelled through Germany, Switzer- 
land and Italy as far south as Cairo, 
taking in Venice, Florence, Rome, etc., 
then up the River through France to 
England. Saw Rudd's old stamping 
ground in Edinburgh. 

I will attend the World's Fair D. V. 
and the Class reunion whether or no. 

There is no Princeton Alumni Asso- 



ciation here but 1 hope we shall have 
one before long. I have been instru- 
mental in sending several young men 
to Princeton. 

Ed Royle spent a day with me and 
gave me some racy items from his ex- 
perience on and oft" the stage. Have 
seen more or less of our honored Secre- 
tary and may his shadow never grow 
less. I am ashamed of my own delay in 
sending my answers for the I'ecord, but 
Rudd's good nature is proverbial and 
he will forgive all us miserable oft'end- 
ers. 

Prescott, Latimer H. 

•We were gi'eatly amused to get Pres- 
cott's letter of replies Nov. 30th, the 
very last day named for receiving let- 
ters. But the promised photo, was nev- 
er received. This in the light -of the 
constant and ad-nauseam lectures and 
prods to duty, proved indeed "how 
easy to preach, how rare to be consist- 
ent." Prescott after passing through 
many business trials seems to "bob up 
serenely" and is now we trust doing 
well. His own tale he twists thus: 

1. L. H. Prescott, 30 Vincent St., 
Cleveland, Ohio. Have lived in New 
York City, Salt Lake City, Cleveland . 

2. I have followed printing as a busi- 
ness and as a profession — for several 
years on the "Cleveland Plain Dealer'^ 
in vainous capacities. I am now in the 
job printing line, under my own name, 
at the above address. Success hangs 
swinging in the balance. I've had a 
"tough" pull and have worn off the en- 
amel of my front teeth hanging on 
when I had nothing else to hold with. 
I think now I have both hands gripped 
on the oft times Elysian delusion "suc- 
cess." 

3. I am not married, nor am I, as a 
Y. M. C. A. young man once told me, 
"Looking for $200,000 and a bad 
cough." On the affinity theory we have 
never met. Of course there is 
plenty of inducement not to wait for in 



-58- 



case of a mistit, Jim Harlan is inChicago 
wliere they untie in a few minutes. Day 
is here too occasionally and intimates 
something ought to happen. Even VoU- 
rath had the kindness to invite me down 
to Bercy, N. Y. while he took the part of 
the "horrible example" for my instruc- 
tion and encouragement. But still I 
wed not and I'll have to confess there is 
little hope as yet. One thing I am not 
worrying about the design and inscrip- 
tion on the class cup. 

4. For a satisfactory answer please 
call on the next generation or two 
when "our times" has merged into the 
mystic realm of ancient history. 

5. To-day I am a Democrat on most 
public questions and voted for Cleve- 
land nationally and a "Free Trade' 
locally. This is an age of commerce 
and of trade and the nation making the 
most money (in terms of prosperity) is 
the nation doing the most business, 
which means an exchange of products. 
The nearer this exchanging is left to the 
absolute free will of the men, individ- 
uals, citizens, human beings of this 
earth the less the friction, the more 
trade, the less conditional elements, 
the more certain trade follows natural 
and healthy channels, while, higher by 
far is the moral standard of the trading 
nations. To-day every importer is 
practically regarded as a thief unless 
proven otherwise. A government has 
the power may be to raise revenue for 
other than legitimate expenses, but not 
the right; or else such governmeut is 
not a democracy. Our government 
cannot be a nursery, for as Mr. Cleve- 
land crystalized it, the people still 
supi^ort the government but the govern- 
ment cannot support the people. 

Prohibition I consider an impossible 
possibilty. Human beings can and 
could get along without liquor, but 
they wont. 

My religious affiliations are pretty 
libei'al, of a Congregational tint, and 
with heart sympathy for the Briggs 



"movement." Hold and always have 
that no man could pass through Prince- 
ton College and accept the so-called 
"Orthodoxy." He was either, if he did, 
too cowardly to accept the results his 
records brought forth or else he lied — 
by "mental reservation " 

6. Belong to K. of P. and U. R. of 
that body, holding office of Recorder. 
Am president of Cleveland Guitar Club. 

This covers the list. Mostly ashes 
has been my covering so far. 

7. I can tell nothing about the 
Woi'ld's Fair or the Reunion at this 
writing. I frequently go right out as 
far as the sidewalk with the last cent I 
paid out, just to be with it as long as 
possible; in church, I sit -near the rear 
door and study to take no promineut 
place or position. The gentlemanly 
'We'll do the rest" never miss me when 
I'm gone. Several churches here are 
in debt, but I can't help it. I'm with 
'em. 

8. A "sort of" club, which has not 
met for years, can't say whether it is 
high tone, low tone or locality Avhich 
I)revents an occasional love feast. I'm 
perfectlj^ willing to help organize clubs 
anywhere I can write diffusely on the 
"rnoribuud condition of a Brilliant 
Start," or "Looking Forward, an Elim- 
ination of Present Deity" — Put me 
down anyway, "half-tone." What a 
rogue's gallery we'll have and how 
every line of life's activitj- will be rep- 
resented and typilied from Bucolic to 
to Beatific! 

10. Day is the only classmate I see 
anything of except the stray sheep — 
like Roberts— Day is A No. 1 from the 
ground up and though like me often- 
times rather discontented may be at 
our lot and fate, for we are both Geo. 
Washington's with alumni men hate 
bets, still we manage to fill our alloted 
field and occasionally recall scenes 
pictured on memory's walls when hal- 
cyon days gave no time for trouble, 
and the future ofi'ered a limitless sea 
for steering our bark, "success."

Since graduation, I have resided con- 
tinuously in Baltimore — permanent ad- 
dress, 814 Cathedral Street. I was ad- 
mitted to the practice of law in '86 and 
have jogged along in the profession 
ever since. 

I am unmaiTied and unable to give 
any decent explanation for being so. 
Am a Democrat and believe in a tariff 
on imports sufficient only to raise rev- 
enues to carry on the government eco- 
nomically administered. Am opposed 
to free silver and believe in the repeal 
of the so called Sherman Act. To my 
mind the Silver question is the most 
vital question before the country. I be- 
lieve in the restriction of immigration, 
though recognizing the gi-eat difficulty 
in framing and administering a proper 
law. 

I am opposed to Prohibition ("after 
the class dinner in 1889, a great speech 
on this subject was made by "Larry" in 
front of "Old North" at 1 o'clock in 
the morning,") and consider the Third 
Party movement fatal to the cause of 
Temperance Reform. High license 
seems to me to be the only right and 
efficient remedy. 

I have done no literary work nor are 
my shoulders bent with the weight of 
honors heaped upon me by fellow citi- 
zens. 

I certainly expect to be at the Dec- 
ennial. I would gladly give five dollars 



for the Record, should you decide to 
publish each man's picture. I do not 
happen to have a recent photograph of 
myself at hand, but will send you one in 
a day or two. 

I have seen but few '83 men in the 
last year or two, Este Fisher excepted. 
We have offices in the same building 
and meet almost daily. I owe D. K. E. 
a debt of gratitude which I must ac- 
knowledge here. He keeps me young; 
when I feel age creeping on me I hunt 
Este up, and presto! I am a colt again — 
for Este is certainly gi'owing old, two 
years to my one. You will have a 
chance to judge his age in June. Jerry 
Haxall is here too — mai'ried and the 
head of a family. Dr. Hunter St. John 
w'as here part of the winter with his 
family. He was doing Hospital work, I 
think, and I saw but little of him. Joe 
Brattan I frequently meet, but there is 
no use telling you anything of Joe, for 
he has had a newspaper training and 
will do his own "write up.!" 

Roberts, Frank C. 

The same conscientious hard work 
which placed Frank at the head of his 
class in College, has given him success 
and honor in his profession in Philadel 
phia, and has also been the quality 
which he has so generously and un- 
tiringly devoted to the interests of '83, 
especially as Treasurer of the Memorial 
Fund. It seems but natural that the 
class should do everything they ca to 
facilitate the work of those who so 
gladly contribute of their time and 
strength and money to the class honor. 
Frank will speak for himself of his life 
in general. 

1. Residence, 13 South 21st St., Of- 
fice, 328 Chestnut St. Philadelphia, Pa. 
Resided at Princeton and Philadelphia. 

2. Civil Engineer. Business for my 
self since March 1, 1888. 

3. Yes, married, May 26, 1886 to 
Miss Amy Paxton, at Princeton, N. J.

article in the September Centui-y gives 
an account of his work in Labrador. 
Last summer he went to Greenland 
as second in command of the Peary Re- 



lief Expedition. He is Secretary of the 
Geographical Club of this City. 

I am not competing for the free copy 
of the Record. 

Royle, Sinclair K.*t 




SINCLAIR K. ROYLE. 

Our "handsome Clair" like so many 
others of the class who have been iso- 
lated, shows his old time affection and 
enthusiasm for College Classmates and 
interests and looks forward to the time 
when he shall put another log on the 
camp fire and lighting his pipe he will 
read the story of what each man has 
been doing. We are told that ranch 
life agrees with him, and that our 
"heavy-weight Ned Peace" must take 
his place among the light-weights when 
Clair is around. 

He caralls his thoughts somewhat as 
follows: 

I have received several communi- 
cations from you in regard to the De- 
cennial Record of '83 and I have in- 
tended wa'iting you sometbing from 



-62— 



time to time, but have put it off iioping 
that I might scare up something of 
interest to wri'e about, but my life 
here has goue on at the same old gait, 
so I will simply answer your qiiestions 
and let her go at that. 

1. Jensen, Uintah Co. Utah. Lived 
in Salt Lake City two years and at 
Rancho Chosa eight years. 

2. Cattle business and pretty near 
busted. 

3. I was married to Miss Mamie E. 
Cross of Newark, N. J. Nov. 9, 1S8"J in 
Denver, Colorado. 

4. We have no chiMren. 

5. Democrat. 

7. Last fall 18!.'2, I wrnt back EasI 
for mj- wife who had spent all summer 
thei'e. I met quile a manlier of '88 
men whom I enjoyed meeting at;aiii 
very much and I think they were ghni 
to see me, I saw my brother Ed. married 
also went to Philadelphia to see him and 
his play "Friends" and while there had 
a visit with Frank Roberts, and Tape 
Bryant was kind enough to call on me. 
Met Billy Scott on the street. Pard 
Harsha met me by agreement in Phila- 
delphia and we went to see "Friends" 
together. He and Ed. and I had a 
reunion after play. Saw A. C. Ward 
in Newark a number of times, also 
Billy Field, called on Crouse and Keller 
and was glad to find them both pros- 
perous. Also met Bob Yard one night 
in New York. 1 was present at my 
brother Ed's, marriage, to Miss Selena 
Fetter, after which with my wife I re- 
turned here. I will not be able to at- 
tend reunion but may get to World's 
Fair. Please send me one Record. I 
send you a picture I had taken in 1888 
— too late for insertion Clair— and 
would be much obliged if you would 
return it, as it is the only one my wife 
has and she wants it returned if pos- 
sible. 

Moyle, Edv^dll Milton. 
Your Secretary finds it very difficult 




EDWIN MILTON ROYLE. 

to know what to cut and what to re- 
tain in Ned's most interesting, but 
lengthy letter. As the only actor in 
our class, Ned is maintaining the re- 
markable and illustrous position which 
he has already made for himself as 
actor and playwrighter. 

We remember him in college days in 
"David Garrick." The next year in 
Edinburgh he acted in a play at the 
300th Anniversary of the University. 
After playing with "Booth and Bar- 
rett" and having the usual checquered 
career, he settled down to produce his 
own play. We shall quote from one of 
the many papers a few lines regarding 
it, and then we let Ed. speak for him- 
self. A Denver paper says: 

"In these days of hopelessly vulgar 
and demoralizing farce comedies that 
are mere sickly imitations of the work 
of the gifted Hoyt a pure, old-fashioned 
and clever comedy-drama is absolutely 
refreshing. Denver is now being treat- 
ed to just such a play in "Friends," at 
the New Broadway theater.

Without being prudisli or in the least 
goody-goody "Friends" has a moral 
purpose and a wholesome human one 
at that. It appeals to the better part 
of every man's nature without expect- 
ing hiu) to be a IVliss Nancy or a tire- 
some moralizer. It illustrates in 
vigorous ami manly action that life 
wouhl scarcely be worth the living if 
robbed of all, or nearly all, the senti- 
ment in it." 

Royle thus writes; 

My dear Kil. I seize the first mo- 
nuMit I liave !iad since "the close of my 
season" to answer your intcrregations 
There was nc\ cr mucli to say of my- 
■self, and as I gi-ow oI<Km' there secnis 
h'ss and li's.s. I li;i\ (> passed the period 
of youtlifiil aiiiliiliiiii, and liopes and 
illMsioiix. and lia\(' ic.dv only one claim 
to distinciioM. I lia\e in some ([iiarters 
earned the leputation of being a hard 
worker I believt I need not say that 
this is quitt^ a new distinction, and one 
<-f which I feel iiuiiil)ly proud. I am 
even templed to Ijclieve that I deserve 
it. Most of the class possibly kuo ■■: 
tiiat m3' pulilic ofl'enses have been lim- 
ited and scarcely worth the recording — 
with one exception A number of them 
(class) have suti'ered at some one or 
another of the performances of a play 
entitled "Friends," for this 1 desire to 
(>lead guilty and recommend myself to 
the mercy of the Court, and to that di- 
vine charity which covers a multitude 
of sins. 

As it is permitted us to assume that 
each and all are as interested in our 
experiences as we are in theirs, a brief 
history of "Friends" may not be out of 
place here: 

It was produced originally Aug. 7, 
1891 at my home, in Salt Lake City, by 
the Home Dramatic Club (an excellent 
amateur organization) Mr. Lucius Hen- 
dierson, assisted me and the two perfor- 
mances in Salt Lake City argued en- 
couragingly for its future. The follow- 
ing spring— May 9, 1882 it received a 



New York production at the Standard 
theatre. The opening night was neither 
a success, nor a failure: though to my 
thinking, it was nearer the latter than 
the former. The performance the scc- 
oud night was a very different thing. It 
convinced me that whatever might be 
the merits or demerits of my play, it 
w^ould enjoy some lease of life. The N. 
Y. run entered the extreme hot weather 
of the summer and then we rested un- 
til Sept. We have just closed a season 
of between 30 and 40 weeks. We are 
already booked for an extended tour 
next season. It has taken me longer to 
say this than was neeessarj', 

1 h:ive something more interesting to 
relate — I have joined the respectable 
portion of the class. It is not neces- 
sary for me to athl that I am married. 
I never thought I could do it, but the 
lady was sorry for me— and there you 
are! It was one of these — "15 minutes 
for the ceremony, married while you 
wait!" sort of vveddiugs. I have dis- 
covered that it did the business just the 
same. I was married to Miss Selena 
Fetter, of Louisville, Ky. a most ac- 
complished and estimable young lady, 
October 16, 1892, at Christ Church, 
New York City by the Rev. Dr.Shipman. 
Many '83 men were present. I am sure 
I have the date right for I copied this 
from my scrap book. To tell you the 
truta, I hadn't had any rehearsal, and 
when the minister took the center of 
the stage (to which I am somewhat 
partial myself), and all the stained 
glass window light, and did most of the 
dialogue, I simply coming in now and 
then for a "feedei"" (as we say) I got 
very nervous and came very near los- 
ing my voice, — about the only thing 
I havn't lost since 1 became a manager, 
I had genuine stage fright. I tell you 
a J. O. or a Lynde Debate or a "first 
night" is nothing to it. However, Rev. 
Dr. Shipman was a pretty fair prompter 
and I pulled through. The only thing 
I forgot, I l)eUeve, was to pay the 



-64— 



minister, but as he couldn't take the 
ceremony back, and as Rudd had led 
me to believe that the Clergy hate to 
be paid for their holy offices, I didn't 
let it worry me. After a wedding din- 
ner at Delmouicos (where I take my 
meals regularly now) we took our 
wedding journey. 

Let me now answer your interroga- 
tions. 

1. Care of Wm. R. Wilder, 45 Cedar 
St. New York City. 

2. Actor — always been regarded as 
a "good man gone wroug." 

3. Am I? See above! 

4. Has hopes. 

5. No politics. Nothiug but debts. 
No views except as to silver: view of 
that very limited. Dangers? that the 
public taste will be corrupted by cheap 
and meretricious plays. Remedy'? 
Liberal public prtronage of "Friends," 
and future productions by author of 
same. Religious affiliations? Actors 
and Mormons. 

6. Filled no office — not even the box 
office. 

7. As I travel over 14000 miles a sea- 
son, will spare you! Hope to emerge 
from rest and seclusion of summer with 
Anatomy of new play: so go to Salt 
Lake at once to work. More than 
sorry can't reune with you all. 

10. "So modest," I know you are 
personal, so modestly close. 

Rudd, FJev. Edward Huntting. 

We were told on "Class Day" that in 
the case of Shelby the "Non Ego" was 
inconceivable. Our Class Secretary 
desires to make the "Ego" impossible 
and by some conjuring Jeckyl-Hyde 
combination to let his impersonal self 
do the communicating through the. 
medium of Finney or Petty. 

Rudd is so elated over the advent of 
a fine vigorous boy, who was born Feb. 
7, 1893, Albion, N. Y. that his smile will 
reach from the Junction to the Campus. 
In his veins runs some of the old ances. 




KEV. EDWAKD HUNTTING RUDD. 

tral blood and spirit of Williams and 
Yale and Princeton and in his name as 
well, he combines these solid old insti- 
tutions, not to mention marked paternal 
and grand-paternal qualities. Young 
Henry Williams Dwight Rudd therefore 
presents himself as a candidate for 
"half-back" of the varsity and "Secre- 
ary of the class of 1915." 

Of course anything else that Rudd 
may write is of secondary importance. 
However he rehearses some of the 
events of these ten years. We glean 
that after leaving the shades of old 
Princeton he traveled in Europe for 
four months "doiug,' Switzerland on 
foot in company with Hoskins, Royle, 
and Billy Scott. This "tramping tour" 
has already passed into history as 
famous. Spending that year as a stud- 
ent in the University of Edinburgh and 
New College, he returned and after 
three years in Princeton Seminary, 
graduated in 1887. Called to the 6th 
Presbyterian Church of Albany, N. Y., 



he spent nearly four yeai's there, when 
he accepted a call from the 1st Presby- 
terian church of Albion, N. Y., a beau- 
tiful town on the Niagara Falls Division 
oftheN.Y. Central R. R., where he 
now resides. 

On Sept. 29, 1887, he married Miss 
Mary Winslow Dwight of Pittstield, 
Mass. 

While in Albany Ritdd organized a 
Princeton Club, and is now trj'ing to 
form one to comprize western N. Y., 
centering at Rochester and Buffalo. 
He believes with many others that it 
is this kind of work which is adding to 
the numerical and permanent strength 
of Princeton. 

Rudd says he is a staunch Republi- 
can because he believes it to be the 
Party of Progress, Power, Prosperity, 
Popularity, Push, Pbace, Political Pre- 
science and Pains-taking Penetration, 
although at intervals and in certain 
sections the G. O. P. may need to be 
poli*^^ically and persistently purged and 
purified, still in the main it is the dom- 
inant force in all the best civic and na- 
tional progress thus far attained. He 
does not believe in Prohibiticm as a 
Third Party Movement, but would tirst 
restrict, then prohibit the sale of 
liquor. It is this universal "compro- 
mise" with sin and evil, which makes it 
insolent, imperious, defiant, conscious 
of its power, and is hoodwinking the 
American people. We need more 
MEN who will "stand four square to 
every wind that blows." He believes 
the liquor forces, which are anti-home, 
anti-honesty, anti-purity, anti-strong- 
manhood should be met by a great and 
mighty fearless public sentiment which 
shall express itself in votes, which 
shall be non-pai'tisan, but once and 
forever anti liquor. Prohibitionists 
and many temperance people have 
been thoroughly intemperate in lan- 
guage, in methods, in wordy resolu- 
tions, in narrow bigotry, — while a larg- 
er class have been "over temperate" in 



the use of their zeal, enthusiasm, good 
sense, courage and mcmey, so that 
while they have been musing the ene- 
my's fires have been burning. This 
one evil "drink" is the storm centre of 
a SL'ore of other evils which threaten 
us The national and individual con- 
science needs to be quickened by re- 
generation." He believes the spirit and 
principle involved in the Geary act to 
be right, however unfortunate or 
wrong the act itself may prove. "We 
must restrict. We have reached the 
point where 'self-preservation' is abso- 
lutely necessary. Free silver is as Un- 
american as it is unsafe. 

As to personal honors, glory, etc., 
Rudd is not sure that in it<, final analy- 
sis there is very much of that commod- 
ity in the sense the world at large 
views it. "The absolute, unselfish, sin- 
cere, Chiist-like performance of life's 
duties will alone bring genuine honor." 
He-has had pleasant recognitions giv- 
ing him places of trust. As Moderator 
of tin Presbytery of Albany, as Stated 
Clerk and Treasurer of Niagara Pres- 
bytery, as one the Commissioners or 
Board of Directors of Auburn Theolog- 
ical Seminary, and last but not least 
Pastor over one of the most delightful 
churches in western New York. He 
believes no minister in '83 has a nioi'e 
kind, loyal and noble-hearted people 
than he. They are just completing a 
parsonage for him costing nearly $15- 

000 which will make a most complete 
and harmonious church property. 
'Pull ye latch string ye '83 men en 
route to the Falls and Chicago." He 
has traveled in most of the States of 
the Union and expects to attend the 
Wji'ld's Fair and be at the Reunion. 

Rue, Frank B.*t 

Peter says under date of April 15, 
1890: "Your kind reminder is received. 
It's hardly necessary for me to say that 

1 have neglected to answ er similar ones, 
you are aware of the fact. I will not 



explain, but simply ask your pardon, 
feeling sure from the kisdness of your 
note that it will be granted. I have 
very little to tell about myself. Have 
tried about about three years of loaf- 
ing in that time, doing a very little at 
farming, a little more at the law, but 
nothing suited. For the past two and a 
half years, however, I have clerked it 
pretty steadily, and am now keeping 
books in the bank, the name of which 
[Atlantic Highlands jNational Bank] is 
at the head of this letter. This has last- 
ed with me for over half a year and I be- 
gin to feel quite setth'd. Am rather a- 
fraid, though, that I shall always be a 
rover. The married state and I are 
still far apart. The ladies are very nice 
and I admire them greatly, but what 
keeps one don't often keep two, or pos- 
sibly more. That is all, Ed., except 
that I thank you for your kindness in 
continuing to remind me, instead of be- 
et ming disgusted and giving me up." 

Russell, James C. 

Jim jabs an old meat skewer in a 
quar. of ink and trails it along as near 
as we could make out about as follows: 

1. My present address is Horseheads, 
N. Y. I accepted a call to the Presby- 
terian church of this village seven years 
ago. 

2. And while I have made no great 
stir, I have succeeded in my work here 
to a reasonable extent, and our church 
has doubled its members and the build- 
ing has been enlarged and greatly im- 
proved. 

3. I am married. I found my help 
meet in my own congregation live years 
ago— Miss M. Ed a Sears. 

4. We have two children, a boy and 
a girl. Henry Sears Russell, aged three 
years and Marjorie Russell aged one 
and a half years. And as both their 
parents are good looking and as they 
resemble both, you can be assured they 
are models of beauty.

5. I do not "belong" to any political 
party. I voted last time with the pro- 
hibitionists because I believe the is- 
sues they represent are the greatest be- 
fore the country. I consider the liquor 
traffic the most damnal)le curse in our 
country, and the greatest obstacle to 
the progi'ess of the kingdom of God. 
Her 's my hand with all the sympathy 
and strength I can crowd into jt for 
any party or organization that stands 
up for the home, the church and the 
state against the saloon, the dram shop 
and the distillery. 

I believe in a limited tariff. I think 
immigration for the next ten years 
should be greatly if not entirely sus- 
pended. This country is sick with in- 
digestion. 

6. I have written quite a large num- 
ber of pamphlets (sermonic) and pos- 
sess quite a library of unpublished ser- 
mons. They can be purchased at reas- 
onable rales. Apply at my study. [We 
disclaim all responsibility in regard to 
securing buyers their money's worth 
under the foregoing ad. Eds. Rec]

7. I traveled across the coatiaent 
last spring. I stayed a day and night 
with "Pard" at Minneapolis. I didn't 
tind him improved any either in appear 
ance or conduct. He has quit smoking 
cigars and taken to driving fast horses. 

We drove around the city "with 
every hoof off the ground and tail over 
the dashboard " After I left Minnea- 
polis I met "Jai Finnic," who exhibited 
the same freshness as in otlier days. I 
spent about a week in Porthmd. Then 
went dovvn into California for a week. 
On my way home I stopped a few days 
at Salt Lake City and Denver.

Rutan, Frederick IV. 




WM. E. RUSSELL. 

"Lord John" cannot be found. He 
has pi'obably ''chewed up the tag," by 
which he might be identitied. He is 
fully written up in the last Record how- 
ever and that must suffice. He was at 
Birmingham, Ala. at last accounts. 
Will some one send his address. 




FREDERICK N. RUTAN. 

•'Fred" .st-uds thri'c (ilc-ely written 
pages in answer to the interrogatories 
and a better illustration of evasive an- 
swering it would be difficult lo tind in 
the an-liives of Chancery. Aftercareful 
consitieration the only deffnite informa- 
tion we are al)le to extract is: That he 
has changed in the last ten years, to 
wit, has lost his politics and most of 
his religion, is "chief among sinners," a 
man married," "a sturdy handsome 
boy" and lives in New Jersey. 

Dear Classmates: Ten yeai's make 
a great change in a fellow. Thank 
Heaven! I hear j'ou say. But will 
you hear my confession! Were it not 
for seeing an account of Princeton news 
in the papers, I fear I might forget our 
Alma Maler. You know that a child 
can forget his mother, I)ut is it not 
worse if a mother forget her child 'i Cer- 
tain it is that I am less to my (rollege 
than it is to me. Herein 1 confess with 
St. Paul that I am chief among sinners. 
Some slight consolation too, is to be a- 



-68- 



mong sinners and not to be the only 
one of the bad class. I am glad to tell 
you that my present permanent (?) ad- 
di'ess is Montclair, New Jersey, where 
yon will be heartilj' welcomed, any who 
care to call. But what do you care 
about the places in which my residence 
has been since graduation? How shall 
I answer about "success?" In fact how 
can I answer it? If as you may well 
suspect, I have failed will it be pleasant 
for you to hear it or forme to tell it? In 
case of any even small degree of suc- 
cess, surely the Committee by its genial 
Secretary cannot be so silly to as expect 
a fellow to blow his own horn any more 
than to pull his own nose. As I am a 
man married and there is no "thusness" 
about it, only happiness and a sturdy, 
handsome boy, perhaps this brief "not- 
ice" will satisfy the class as it ought to 
satisfy any one who is reasonable. 

In 1892, I voted for the President! 
Now tell me ye conundrum crackers for 
whom was my ballot cast? I tell you 
fraukly I have no politics. That is one 
of the changes. You need not conclude 
from this that I have no religion, What 
religion is left from my studies in Union 
Seminary assures me that the same dan- 
gers threaten the American people that 
annoy every, man of us : the dangers 
attendant upon selfishness, greed, in- 
temperance, ignorance :ind lawlessness. 
The only remedy is in Him who cures 
souls not by might nor by power but by 
spirit. Spiritual force alone can combat 
successfully the power of materialism. 
Having no hope of enjoying the Re- 
union next June let me send this letter 
as a word of loving greeting to all the 
boys of old Eighty-three. May the mus- 
ty old town be painted this year 
neither red nor black but simply white. 

We believe, however, that such senti- 
meuts as Fred expresses-are unworthy 
the "true Princeton Spirit" in a 
mau, and we would heartily advise 
getting into thorough "touch with Class 
and College interests. Fred, we are 
glad to put j'ou among the "Excep- 
tions."

HUNTEK ST. JOHN, M. D. 

"Remus has ignored our circulars be- 
cause, we presume, he regarded our 
conduct as impertinent in pretending we 
did not know all about him and never 
heard of his famous "CATARRH 
CURE." We have seen his "ad." in a 
Pittsburgh paper. A harrowing series 
of cuts illustrating the ravage of cat- 
arrh, excites our compassion. The vic- 
tim is shown in the hrst cut to be one 
who "has never been sick in his life" 
and says ''I am too tough to get any- 
thing." The last cut represents all that 
is left of him a ghastl.y skeleton and we 
receive the information that "Death 
ends his suffering." Further the "ad" 
informs us that certain death awaits 
everv one who has catarrh unless he is 
saved by "Dr. St. John's Catarrh Cure." 
We are justitied in concluding from the 
wonderful results ascribed to this cure 
that it will furnish a new and improved 
brand of Schneid(erian) membrane to 
the victims of sternutatory convulsions; 
new lining supplied to the stomach, 



-69- 



lungs, throat and old ones repaired as 
good as new, orders from the country 
supplied "by mail"; Epithelium restor- 
ed on the original pattern: Spheroidal, 
granular, ciliated, etc., coughing and 
sneezing stopped entirely or reduced 
to harmonic principles. The "ad" in 
closing informs us that "Doctor St. 
John's remedies cure at home, cure 
while you work, cure while you sleep." 
(We presume that this song is sung by 
the rescued to the tune of "What shall 
the harvest be.") "Dr. St. John can 
be consulted free of charge every day at 
his office 7 Sixth Avenue, Corner of 
Wood Street, Pittsburgh, Pa., from 9 
a. m. to 9 p. m., Sundays included. A 
free test of the remedies to all who ap- 
ply. Patent applied for in the Office 
of the Commissioner of Patents at 
Washington, D. C." We can forgive 
the Doctor for ignoring us considering 
that in the time requisite to answer our 
interrogatories he may save numerous 
victims. Sui-ely all the Doctor's class- 
mates will be glad to learn that among 
the great benefactors of the human 
race, such as Keeley and Mrs. Winslow, 
the future historian will write the name 
of "Doctor Hunter St. John." 

Scott, William C. 

"Billy" is still too busy with his stud- 
ies and the pi'actice of his profession, 
the law, to hunt around for a wife. 
Two leap years have passed since '83 
and it is strange 

Some maiden fair witti blood of bluish hue. 
Did not the handsome William find and woo. 

He has so many requisites of a good 
husband that we regret to see so much 
good raw material going to waste. 
Take a day off, Billy, and make some 
girl happy with the title of Mrs. ex- 
Alderman Scott. Since leaving college 
Scott's permanent address has been No. 
2026 Walnut St., Philadelphia, Pa. At 
the graduating exercises of the law 
school of the U. of Pa., he delivered the 
oration and in '88 took the flearree of L. 




WILLIAM C. SCOTT. 

L. M. at the same institution. He ex- 
pects soon to becomePh. D. In '87 he 
wrote a paper on "Trusts for Accumul- 
ation," which took the first prize given 
by the law academy of Philadelphia. 
It was published in the Blackstone 
Publishing Company's series of law text 
books in 1887. William was elected a 
member of the common council of Phil- 
adelphia in April, 1887, by the Republi- 
can party. He served in that capacity 
two years, was a credit to the party, 
elevated the moral tone of the city and 
only failed to be re-elected by refusing 
to stand in with the ward heelers. Billy 
thinks Ned Royle made a mistake in 
going on the stage. "He is a binlliant 
fellow and it seems such a pity that the 
tvorld should lose such a-niau." He, 
Billy, evidently classes the theatrical 
profession and "nunneries" in the same 
category. 

St. John, Randolph.*! 

Ran. may still be addressed at No. 
57 Conception street Mobile, Ala. It is

KANDOLPH ST. JOHN. 

reported that owing to a disagreement 
between Ran. and his mother regarding 
the eligibility of a certain young lady 
to become his wife, the said Ran. is now 
rusticating in Anniston, Ala. We are 
extremely sorry not to be able to give a 
fuller report of these, our first pair of 
twins, and hope that they will give 
some account ot themselves before an- 
other Decennial. 

Shanklin, Robert F. 

No wonder Bob wi'ites "uncomplain- 
ing as far as this world's affairs go," for 
we see by his business card that he is 
a member of the firm of Goudy, Shank- 
lin & Co., 84 La Salle St. Chicago, 
Mortgage Bankers and he adds — "Es- 
tates Managed." Keen Bob. You 
ought to be A.l.at "Managing Estates." 
Success to you Bob. You're worthy of 
it. He says: 

My Dear Rudd: I send you herewith 
my photograph for the Record as re- 
quested by you, and though cognizant 



of the fate of the maiden who offered 
her face as her fortune, nevertheless I 
have so little to tell, and so little time 
to give an extended answer to all of 
your queries, that I will take my 
chances and "travel on my face." I 
am neither so gray as Harlan, or portly 
as Tom Wannamaker who called upon 
me yesterday, nor so paternal as Billy 
Osborne who is the father of three, as 
he informed me on a recent visit. I am 
unmarried, unengaged, and uncom- 
plaining as far as this world's affairs 
go. In politics, I am a Democrat. 
Once a Democrat, always a Democrat, 
has been my motto. 

I hope to get to the reunion if for no 
better reason than to "take care of' 
Harlan. Should I not be there, dear 
Rudd, attend to this matter for me. 
Just express him to the above address 
and I will be his guardian at this end 
of the line. 

With kindest thoughts for all of my 
classmates, and the hope that I may see 
many of them here during the World's 
Fair season." 

Bob's photo, came too late thereby 
proving that he is the same old "late 
Mr. Shanklin." 

Shelby, W. K. 

Attorney at law, Lexington, Ky. 

Have you heard the latest? Well, 
here it is, I hope. I trust none of the 
fellows will treat more shabbily than I 
the Decennial Record. If our old 
Prophet should get in after me, let me 
know it, just for revenge. Below you 
may find answers to some of your ques- 
tions. 

Since June, '83, 1 have resided in 
Lexington, Ky., except from Dec, 1889 
to Feb., 1893, during which interval I 
resided at Middleboi^ough, Ky., and 
Big Stone Gap, Va. Permanent ad- 
dress Lexington, Ky. 

Taught nearly five years, practiced 
law about four years. Caught "Hail 
Columbia" in an effort to climb to for- 



—71— 



tune on a "live wire," i. c, the great 
boom of 1889-90. 

Not married. Bob Shanklin, in Feb- 
ruary, '83, pi'oposed a resolution against 
conditions, especially the one called 
matrimony. I seconded the motion. 
Consistency, thou hast kept us single; 
thou art a fraud — may be. 

Democrat. Am opposed to war tar- 
iff, the bloody shirt, the force bill, de- 
magogue pensions, and to the party 
that produced unuumbei'edFlannagans. 
I am in favor of the party that would 
remedy some of these evils, and that is 
led by the great American, the great 
statesman, the great man, Grover 
Cleveland. I think the American peo- 
ple are doing pretty well at present; 
able to sit up again and take a little 
uoui'ishment." (Shelby carefully ab- 
stains from giving his views as to that 
"nourishment" which is so popular in 
the land of the "star-eyed godess," but 
we suppose he does not approve of the 
doctrine "that in Kentuck^y the whiskey 
is so good that "intemperance is a rir- 
tue." See nominating speechs at Chi- 
cago convention.) 

'Have been a consistent euemj' to 
••dust" of all kinds. Escaped being 
mayor of a town by twenty-six votes, 
and graduated in politics at a single 
season. 

Have ti'avelled little. Went to the 
Chicago Convention of 1893 as an alter- 
nate from Virginia. 

Having again come within a I'adius of 
the Cincinnati Alumni Association I ex- 
pect to sing "Old Nassu" hereafter 
with the highfed pork-eaters. 

Have not had a picture taken since 
'83, but greatly enjoyed looking at the 
"mugs" of all the dear boys when I ran 
across my album the other day. 

I saw Frank Wadleigh winding 
among the Virginia mountains last year 
with that smooth and business-like 
tread which carried him through col- 
lege at eighteen. Ed Royie is not so 
quiet. But the people talk I'ight back 



at him, and shout at him "more, more!" 
He made a great hit in Lexington with 
his excellent, bright play. "A man he 
seems of cheerful yesterdays and con- 
fident to-morrow<." Hurrah for our 
actor- boy. 

If I should not be able to attend the 
decennial reunion of our class, may I 
be I'emerabered among "the absent but 
ever loyal," 

Send me acopy of the Record, fully 
illustrated, even to the second genera- 
tion. 



Smith, Samuel Irwin. 

Born Nov. 21, 1859. Died at Dayton, 
Ohio, Sept. 29, 1885. 



Spier, Robert \V. 

"Bob" tells us that he is with E. D. 
Shepard & Co., Bankers, No. 3 Broad 
St., N. Y. City. His residence is at So. 
Orange, N. J. He spent three years in 
sheep ranching in Kansas, until 1886, 
then entered an insurance office for five 
years and since then he has been with 
above firm. Says he is "succeeding" 
in maintaining health and happiness. 
What better can any man acquire than 
that Bob? He is a Cleveland democrat; 
believes in low tariff, civil service re- 
form, and repeal of the Sherman silver 
act. Bob expects to be at the Decen- 
nial, and is a faithful member of the 
Princeton Club of N. Y. 

"Hodge is the mo.st modest man in 
this vicinity. Rumor has it, however, 
that he has never lost a case where less 
than $50,000 was involved." 

When the Secretary lived in Albany 
"Bob" used to "drop in"quite frequent- 
ly and was always the same genial, en- 
thusiastic and pleasant Bob as of yore. 

Sweetman, James T. Jr. M.D. 

Sweetman has been holding the fort 
in Albany and Troy, and trying to niiu- 



-'?2- 



imize the death rate, and was so suc- 
cessful in depleting the population at 
Troy that he looked for more world's 
to conquer, and located at Ballston 
Spa., a bubbling suburb of Saratoga. 
He effervesces as follows: 

1. Ballston Spa, N. Y., for past year 
and a half. Previously in Troy, N. Y. 
for 3 years and the remainder of time 
in Washington, D. C. 

2. The life of an "M. D." Have 
been reasonably successful although 
have had to change residence owing to 
health of better half. 

3. Very much so— May 8. 1889, at 
Washington, D. C, to Miss Susie Piatt 
Boyd. 

4. We have not thus far been bless- 
ed. 

5. I am a straight Republican, a pro- 
tectionist. I believe in restricted Im- 
migration. Think that Prohibition has 
no place properly in politics. I voted 
for Harrison and Reid. I am a Presby- 
terian. 

6. Have filled office of Secretary and 
Treasurer of Medical Association of 
Troy and am a member of New York 
State Medical Association, and of Uto- 
pian Club (social) of Ballston. Also a 
member of the Board of Trustees of the 
Presbytei'ian church here. Not much 
dust and very little glory. 

7. Have not traveled As to the 
World's Fair and Decennial Reunion — I 
fondly hope. 

8. Of Alumni Association of Albany 
etc. 

9. I should feel that I must have a 
Record whatever the cost. 

10. I am afflicted in being separated 
from all members of the class so that 
for the past year I have seen none of 
them. 

Note: "Spiciness" is not in my line 
although I heartily wish that the Rec- 
ord may be successful enough to satis- 
fy the most exacting. 



Smyser, John Rieman. 

Johnny writes shortly after the 
Princeton-University of Pennsylvania 
foot ball game of last fall. And though 
he did prepay the postage, yet "paper" 
was so scarce with him, that he covered 
both sides of the sheet with exceeding- 
ly diminutive writing^ He starts off in 
this pathetic strain. "Now that we as 
Princeton's Alumni of Philadelphia are 
convalescing from the severe shock re- 
ceived (financially and otherwise) at 
the hands of the University of Pennsyl- 
vania it seems well for me to take this 
moment of semi-rationality to answer 
your very inquisitive circular. 

My exit from the Manheim game was 
similarly hasty to my precipitate flight 
across the campus with "Boi'gy" at my 
heels in Soph. year. Or as Bob Shank- 
lin termed it, 'Hector and Achilles 
around the walls of Troy. 

Yx)u remember in the Sexennial Re- 
cord I was fortunate enough to get on 
the last page in the form of "Addenda," 
and have since been congratulating my- 
self that you had kindly not delayed 
one page farther and put me among 
the "Errata." I much prefer to be an 
"Addenda" to an "Errata". 

Since '83 I have lived in Philadelphia, 
graduated fi'om the Philadelphia Col- 
lege of Pharmacy in '87 and since then 
have been the proprietor of two very 
thrifty Pharmacies. 

From a financial stand-point I have 
succeeded very well, matrimonially not 
so well — neither married, engaged nor 
in love, and even the "thusness" is veil- 
ed in obscurity. I will consequently 
omit the names and dates of birth of 
children. 

Your next question is one that space 
only holds me in restraint. I am a 
Pennsylvania Republican, not in favor 
of Prohibition as a party issue (though 
some of our party here down liquor 
very hard); am strongly in favor of 
protection and particularly the restric- 



-73- 



tion of Immigration. Immigration 
bi'ings to our very door an influx o 
ignorance, degradation and depi'avity. 
These invaders liave no comprehension 
of the principles of liberty or duties of 
citizenship; or worthy aspirations: they 
have a low plane of existence and far 
lower standard of living and social 
ideas. To conserve the social and econ- 
omic well-being of the nation is one of 
the highest obligations of responsi- 
ble citizenship. Hence to allow this 
new engorgement of repugnant immi- 
gration is false humanity and false pol- 
itical economy. 

What tender memories and recollec- 
tions, what kindly sympathies and 
wai'm attachments the writing of this 
letter bring* to me. The contrast of 
reckless boyhood to sober thoughtful 
manhood. My heart goes out to the 
Class of '83 with pleasant anticipations 
for the reuniting and the consequent re- 
trospect of ten years past. To be with 
you on that day shall be my great pleas- 
ure, and I only regret that there are 
some who mnst necessarilj' be among 
the missing. 

To you personally, Ed, my kindest 
regards and best wishes. Though you 
are not aware of the fact, you are the 
first man in '83 with whom I became 
acquainted on entering college. 

Taber, Sydney Richmond. 

Very clearly the ' 'Prize" is awai'ded to 
Sydney for the best letter. Its merit 
speaks for itself. He says: 

Dear Rudd: You wish to know 
"where I am at" geographically, pro- 
fessionally, matrimonially, politically 
and spiritually? Well I, shall gladly 
tell you for the sake of doing my part 
towards making the record complete. 

I spent the summer of '83 in traveling 
through Europe. I then entered 
Columbia College Law School and after 
graduating in '85, made, in company 
with Morgan, an extended trip to the 
Pacific coast, including visits to Yo- 




SYDNEY RICHMOND TABEK. 

Semite Valley and Yellowstone Park. 
Returning Eastward, I stopped at 
Chicago and was so much impressed 
with the possibilities for success in that 
enterpi'ising place that in October of 
that year I pulled up stakes in New 
York and settled in the City of the 
Winds. After serving my apprentice- 
s .ip in the office of a leading law-firm, 
in the spring of '88 I announced to an 
eagerly expectant public that I was 
"open for business" "on my own hook." 
Since then I have been serving those of 
the public that have been pleased to 
avail themselves of said announcement. 
My present office is No. 32 Montank 
Block. A law publisher is now putting 
through the mill a hand book that I 
hope will prove useful to practitioners 
of commercial law, but as this is not a 
matter of special interest to laymen of 
'83 who so largely predominate, I shall 
not go into details. 

I have re-visited my old haunts in 
the East a number of times and have 
crossed the Atlantic thrice, — in 1888 
traveling through England and Scot- 



-74- 



lund, and in '90 paying a flying visit 
to England and Ireland. Until my 
marriage, Shanklin, Harlan and I kept 
bachelors hall. The important event 
referred to took place on October 18, 
1890. It was in Grace Church, Orange, 
that Miss Julia Biddle Cox gave me her 
hand. We passed the following winter 
in Chicago, but in the spring of '91 I 
invested in a little country home in one 
of the suberbs on the wooded blufl's 
overlooking Lake Michigan, where we 
have since lived and shall, I hope, con- 
tinue so doing for a long time to come. 
The Brambles, Lake Forest, Illinois, 
is therefore my answer to the in query 
for a "permanent address." Under 
these circumstances it is superfluous 
for me to add that I expect to attend 
the World's Fair. I fear, however, 
that my great desire to see and hear 
and touch the '83 men to be congregat- 
ed at Princeton in June will not be 
gratified. 

The Princeton Club of Chicago is one 
organization that makes itself heard 
about once a year, on the occasion of 
its annual banquet or of a visit from 
the College glee club. Harlan and I 
have had the misfortune to be members 
of the executive committee for several 
years past. It is uphill work to till a 
banquet hall or, still worse, a concert 
hall, in a city where Princetonians are 
very few. Shanklin Morgan and I met 
with the latter difficulty three years 
ago, and no doubt the same experience 
awaits the present committee in con- 
nection with the approaching concert 
on December 23d. 

In order to reply to interrogatory No. 
4 with that degiee of exactness that 
would interest the class, I must beg 
that the time for this answer be extend- 
ed — till, say the reunion in June. 

Question No. 5 opens a broad field. I 
would like to wander over it at length 
but shall try to heed your warning to 
be brief I have never sold my soul to 
any political party. I am uncom- 



promising believer in the right of pri- 
vate judgment and in the application 
of reason to things political. Names 
are to me mere idle things, I vote for 
what seem to me the best men, under 
whatever banner they may march, — 
the men that are best fitted for their 
respective offices and that give greatest 
promise of accomplishing reforms. 
And God knows our country is badly 
enough in need of reforms. The great- 
est political need, to my mind, is to get 
lid of '"politics." Of its so called 
"issues," I believe that its foremost in 
importance are the tariff", civil service 
reform, pensions, immigration and the 
labor problem. I am convinced that 
"protection" is in theory, without 
authority, and in practice, is iniquit- 
able and unjust, and I hope to see tax- 
ation reduced to a revenue basis. I 
want to see the civil service reform 
idea extended to every elective as well 
as appointive office in the land. The 
present wholesale robbery of taxpayers 
under the guise of pensioning worthy 
veterans is, to my mind, a gigantic 
national disgrace. Nothing it seems 
to me. could exceed the stupidity of the 
present system by which the seeds of 
desease and revolution are being in- 
cessantly and indiscriminately dumped 
upon our shores. I long for the mil- 
enial day when this country will be 
emancipated from the despotism of 
trades unions, and I sometimes wonder 
whether another "emancipation proc- 
lamation" will not be necessary before 
that day is reached. For the reason 
that Mr Cleveland's election seemed to 
give better promise of accomplishing 
at least some of these reforms, I voted 
for him a fortnight ago, although 1 had 
and have a profound admiration for 
Gen. Harrison as a man and as a states- 
man. Prohibition, as a third party 
movement or any other kind of move- 
ment, I do not believe in at all. It is, 
in my opinion, unwarrantable on prin- 
ciple, and experience has pi'oven its 



—75- 



impraeticability. I rather wondered 
at lii'st why you placed "politics and 
religious affiliations" in the same 
category and interrogatory, but after 
writing my above views, the reason for 
it appears. The one naturally runs 
into the other. Political life and re- 
ligious life are, or ought to be, both 
struggles for what is best. The con- 
nection between them is especially close 
from my own point of view. For I 
insist upon the same independence in 
the one case as in the other. I con- 
tinue a member of the Presbyterian 
Church, recognizing the expediency of 
church organizations and being in 
sympathy with it in regard to essentials; 
but I am heax'tily out of sympathy with 
many prominent Pi'esbyterian men and 
dogmas. Neither, by any means, is 
that church the only one with which I 
have "affiliations." I am an Episcopalian 
by marriage, so to speak. In fact, I 
am ready to atHliate with any creed, 
organization or movement that com- 
mends itself to reason and makes for 
righteousness. I have a conviction, 
which has been steadily deepening dur- 
ing the ten years since finishing our col- 
lege course, that after all, the whole end 
and aim of the course of life is to develop 
Christlike character. The means neces- 
sarily vary with the individual; whatever 
means accomplish this end are, to my 
mind, the right ones: It is taking the 
Christian world a long time to get back 
to Christ's creed, on which not only 
hung all the Law and the Prophets but 
on which now hang all the learning, 
of Philosophers, Priests and Preachers. 
For this reason that the Brotherhood of 
Christian Unity seems to have already 
got there. I have joined that body. 
Perhaps I cannot better indicate in a 
word my "religious affiliations" than 
by saying that Drummond has, to my 
mind, preached the greatest sermon in 
the world simply because he has struck 
to the vei'y heart of the greatest theme 
in the world. 



The word "'sermon" brings me to my 
senses. Have I preached my congrega- 
tion to sleep? Well, my '-lastly" will 
be a mention of the '83 men that I have 
heard from or seen since graduation. 

Hodge attended my wedding. Har- 
lan was there too; in fact, he stood up 
with me. Of him I have seen more 
than any of our other men. I fancy 
that your anticipation in regard to the 
men that would be too modest to men- 
tion their own honors will prove well 
founded in his case. He will probab'y 
mention that he is practicing law, but 
he will fail to add, with great success 
already and with flattering prospects 
for the future. Much less will he men- 
tion the fact that he is being promin- 
ently talked of as the successor of Judge 
Blodgett, whose I'etirement from the 
United States District Court in Chicago 
leaves vacant a most responsible and 
honorable position. Harlan's candi- 
dacy is endorsed by some of the leading 
attorneys at the bar. By the time the 
decennial appears the President will 
have made the appointment. If this 
crown should not descend upon the 
head of this son of '83, the class will 
remember that into such an appoint- 
ment usually enter unfortunately many 
considerations besides a man's merits. 

I have seen less of Shanklin since he 
forsook the law and since I forsook 
bachelorship. However I understand 
that success is smiling upon his new de- 
parture — the business of "mortgage 
banker" — I am disposed to condone his 
desertion; and when he forsakes the 
ranks last named, (though as yet I see 
no sign) I shall forgive him altogether. 

I recently received an enjoyable visit 
from Lewis. Over my hearth we had a 
small reunion of our own, indulging in 
reminiscences of all the men and profs, 
of Whig and Ivy, &c. 

Speir also passed through Chicago 
last spring, looking well and prosper- 
ous, — the reflection, undoubtedly, of 



—76— 



his success in handling city and county 
bonds. 

Alexander will probably speak for 
himself from Paris. In case he should 
not however, I shall mention that he is 
connected with a prominent law office 
there. He is acting counsel of the 
American Legation and is deep in in- 
ternational law and other questions of 
interest. He will shortly open a simil- 
ar office in London. 

Colt, the champion globe trotter of 
the class, looked smiling and stout as 
he flew through Chicago last year. 
Riggs used occasionally to delight tlie 
eyes and heai'ts of '83 men here, l)ut re- 
C3ntly we have seen nothing of him. 

I received a hearty visit from Hewitt 
during the summer. Through his ap 
pearance of being a much occupied bus- 
iness man that he is in fact, I discover- 
ed the same old Charlie. Agnew, 
Peace and Perrine have also flitted 
through Chicago at different times. 

Morgan I used to see frequently until 
his removal from Chicago to New York 
in the spring of '91. Mrs. Morgan and he 
are deeply missed by many others than 
the '83 men here. To them St. James 
Mission owes very largely its growth 
from a struggling little band up to a 
useful, permanent organization furnish- 
ing Sunday services and week day 
classes and clubs. 

I found Osborne in his Mew York 
law office three years ago, a much- oc- 
cupied man of affairs. Field I ran 
against in London four years ago. 

If Roberts were not sure to give an 
account of himself I would tell you 
what I learned while we chatted to- 
gether in my office last week. 

Of course you can count on me to 
take a copy of the Record, with or with- 
out pictures, half tone or whole tone. 
I am looking forward to it eagerly. 

My hearty regards to all the men that 
you will meet at the reunion.

WM. J. TAYLOR. 

"Billy" writes that he is "in the 
transportation business of John H. 
Starin at Pier 18, North River, plod- 
ding along from morning to night act- 
ing in the capacity of General Ticket 
Agent for our various steamboat enter- 
prises and Jack of all trades when I 
am not very much occupied in my par- 
ticular department. I am not married. 
I am not engaged. I have not joined 
any society or enterprise, or covered 
myself with glory, but have been jog- 
ging along at an easy gait and ti'ying 
to get all the good I could from life 
from day to day. 

I send you the latest photo of myself 
taken by an amateur under flashlight. 
As to political prefei'ences, I might be 
described as a Democrat in national 
affairs, an exponent of Cleveland's 
views, anti-Hill in New York State and 
anti-Tamany in New York City. 1 am 
a free trader and against silver tinker- 
ing. I do not believe in Prohibition, 
but am in favor of high license, the 
higher the better."

Thompson Chas. V.* 

Although Vauce wi'ites late. May 19, 
'90, he makes up a chatty and euter- 
taiuing letter, which we give below: 

"After gradiuitiug I went to Ger- 
many and studied at the University of 
Jena, where in the old days Goethe and 
Schiller and other pleasant people 
made merry. Then came a bit of wan- 
dering through Europe. After the 
loafing came the 'e^ eryday work' act. 
I went on Jlie Tribune, of Chicago. 
After two years I went back to Europe, 
Germany and then back to America for 
a few weeks. Chance dragged me over 
to London again. I worked on Englisli 
newspapers; wrote bad books and 
translated good ones; found that the 
penman's trade is much the same the 
world over. Having found this I came 
back a few months ago to my first love, 
Tlie Tribune. So here I am in Chicago * 
— and the World's Fair is coming. 
'What have I done for Old Nassau?' 
Very little, I fear; and yet this: under 
all circumstances, and in all places, I 
have said the good true word for 
Princeton. I ran across Bi(!kham of 
'84 the other day. We boxed for a l)it 
and I knocked him out. In order to 
do it I dislocatod a thumb, but then 
one would do a deal more than that to 
keep up the well won prestige of '83,"

New York when we last heard and 
was with the "Mail and Expr-ess."

Trainer, William M. 

Is a lawyer engaged in practice at 
Steuben ville, Ohio. He was married 
April 20, 1892, at Steubenville, Ohio, 
to Miss Mai'y H. Hagan. He writes 
that he is a "Democrat. Free trade 
means fair trade. Our G rover Cleve- 
land has expressed my ideas (and his) 
better than I can. In my opinion no 
dangers threaten the American people 
that the American nation cannot meet 
and overcome in less time than blatant 
alarmists can tell about it. My relig- 
ion has a Congx'egational tendency.

WILLIAM M. TRAINER, 

I did considerable writing for a pub- 
lication called the 'History of the Up- 
per Ohio Valley.' Am Secretary of 
Steubeaville Lodge, B P. O. E. Was 
elected Justice of the Peace in this city, 
in April 1891 by 143 votes, overcoraiag 
an adverse party majority of 600." 

Updike, Hartley T. 

After graduating from Union Theolo- 
gical Seminary in '86, Updike went west 
as a Home Missionary and brought up 
at Popular Biuflf, Mo. Since May 1, 
1889, he has been pastor of a church at 
Lebanon, 111. He has visited most all 
the large cities of this country, but has 
not been out of the United States. He 
is an occasional contributor to the 
"Mid-continent." Uppy was always 
slow of speech. He seems also to be 
slow to act, for in the Triennial I'ecord 
he was reported "engaged" but up to 
last June he was not married- He 
deemed it necessary to state that he 
had no children. From Jim Russell's 
letter we surmise that "Uppy" has 
doubled up since June, 1889,

part to your interrogations will be 
promptly sustained by the Judge in the

My address is Bucyrus, Ohio, having

EDWARD VOLRATH. 

Married June -27, 1888 to Miss Millie 
Wise at Bucyrus. Children, two, Jean-

May 29, 1891. Both daughters. "Just 
as sweet as can be" — ^inherit traits and 
qualities of character from their mother. 

In politics a Republican — why? — be- 
cause I could not be a consistent and 
patriotic citizen if my political views 
were not in harmony with the princi- 
ples hitherto advocated by the National 
Republican party. Believe in protec- 
tion to American industries; am oppos- 
ed to free silver as well as unrestricted

immigration, aud , am fully in accord 
with the National Republican platform 
as adopted at Minneapolis. Hen(;e 
don't favor "third party" prohiljition 
any more than I relish democratic as- 
cendency. The dangers confronting 
our people are numerous. The first 
year of the incoming democratic ad- 
miuistratiou will sufticiently define 
ihem. [We think ftome of our M. Ds.

Vulcheff, Rev. Mindo G. Ph. D. 

It is rather pleasant to realize that 
our class is doing valiant service in 
all parts of the world. Bulgaria is 
seeing a new light, because here aud 
there are stationed such men as Vul- 
chetf . He has already done good ser- 
vice in the cause of truth and education 
as his letter modestly suggests. We 
wish him God Speed and success in his 
work: He writes: 

"Sistove, Bulgaria, March 13, 1893. 
My dear Rudd: The sexennial record 
was so interesting and 'phuuny' that 
all the boys would be supposed to 
respond when data was required at a 
later time yet I was among those de- 
linquents who were blessed with a val- 
entine. Excuses were lame indeed yet 
you may understand when I say that 
this year I am in charge of our mission 
school here, with inhnite duties to per- 
form. To questions four aud live have 
nothing to say except that I am a mem- 
ber of Bulgaria Mission Conference. 
Since the last report 1 have published 




MINDO G. VULCHEFF 

a text-book on International Law, and 
translated Drummond's 'Greatest Thing 
in the World,' a copy of the second 
edition of which I forward you. At 
pi'esent I have to translate and com- 
pile a number of pages for our monthly 
mission magazine. Since writing last 
have twice visited Constantinople as 
well as Bucharest, Antwerp and cros- 
sed the mountains (Balkans) at Shipka 
Pass. Am still the only Princeton repre- 
sentative in this section of the world 
and have not seen any of my classmates 
for a long time. Had thought of visit- 
ing the Exposition but find I cannot 
leave my work for a long enough time. 
Behold my phiz which I enclose. It 
will be good to see the faces of the boys 
and to see what changes time hath 
worked with them. I may say that we 
are meeting with success in all senses. 
Best remembrances to you all. Long 
live '83. 

P. S. My wife will be in America 
on a visit this summer. Please let her

will forward the money for the same. 
Her address will be Hoosick Falls, N. Y. 

'Wanamaker, Tliomas B. 



THOMAS B. WANABIAKER. 

It is no pleasure to the Secretary to 
score "delinquents" year after year. 
Nor is it agreeable to "write up" men, 
who seem deliberately to ignore all re- 
quests and appeals for assistance. We 
desire to believe Wanamaker has some 
interest in the class as a class, even 
though his thoi-ough indifference might 
prove the contrary. The hard work 
which some of the class officers and 
many private members devote to class 
interests would at least seem to be 
worthy of courteous recognition and 
brief reply. For some reason Tommy 
withholds all of these. 

Few men in the class have it so clear- 
ly within their grasp, by reason of abil- 
ity, position and means, to add 
strength and permanency to our class 
organization and esprit du corps 
than Wanamaker, and yet few have 



college is the father of the type he will 
be later. We suppose Tom is still liv- 
ing in Philadelphia and is of course 
financially successful. His history is 
given in the Triennial and the photo 
here given is that of 1883.

AARON C. WARD, M. D. 

Newark is at last assuming a healthy 
state because of the presence of such 
"life preservers" as our talented Acey. 

Those of us who were present at the 
Sexennial Reunion re-call Acey's stir- 
ring speech as he accepted the two cups 
for his twin boys presented by the old 
"S. S. S." Ever since then he has 
been trying to keep the baby popula- 
tion of Newark intact, and with what 
success, he leaves us to judge from his 
letter. 

1. 325 Clinton Ave., Newark, N. J. 

2. Physician. Succeeded in keeping 
things going, building a home and get- 
ing a waist measui'e of 39 inches.

3. Married aud have twin boys four 
years old, (married Sept. 7, 1887). 

4. Walter Lester Ward, Harold 
Haskins Ward, Ijoru May 8, 1889 at

5. Protectionist — not a bimettalist —

tion — that prohibitionists aie insane 
fanatics. Voted for Harrison. Am a 
Presbyterian. 

6. Graduated 'First" at Col. Phys.

W^^hitlock, Frank L. 

Whitelock's Sou is to become the 
proud possessor of the title "Class of 
'83 Boy," so Frank writes us in the full 
happy veiu. 

Enclosed please find photos of my 
girl and boy. You already know their 
ages. I have lost the Class questions. 
I seriously object to having my photo 
taken. You have no doubt heai'd of the 
actress who made her fortune on the 
stage by the most liberal display of 
limb and yet permitted a slight injury 
on her knee cap to grow mortal from 
nervous dread of having it examined 
by a physician. My face has not been 
my fortune, although it has been liber- 
ally displayad at town meetings, in the 



Court House, in Conventions and in 
the Halls of Legislation and yet, if you 
believe me, I have never been able to 
throw off that nervousness attributed 
to ugly people. Hence my objection 
to having my counterfeit presentment 
appear in the Decennial Record. 

Since my last communication to the 
Class I have paced my path in leisurely 
manner. The political revolution in 
our .state in 1890 proved a frost — a kill- 
ing frost — to my political ambition. A 
recent issue of The State newspaper 
says: "The best recommendation to 
the "dominant element" is not to know 
the name of one's grandfather, to call 
oneself a wool-hat, one gallus boy and 
to have been guilty of some act which 
has made one a social outcast." This 
I believe to be true and instead of re- 
pining, my friends tell me, I should 
feel honored by the "dominant ele- 
ment's" disfavor. I still count myself 
a Jeffersonian democrat of the Grover 
Cleveland stamp. I am not a prohibi- 
bitionist, never was and never expect 
to be. I believe liquor to be an evil not 
in itself but only in so far as it is made 
the innocent victim of the beastly ap- 
petite of a glutton and gourmand aud 
and the sooner we made the intemper- 
ate use of whiskey a crime punishable 
in like manner as larceny the better it 
will be for the interest of society. I am 
not a Sentimentalist on this question. 

The other questions I have forgotten 
and if you want categorical answers to 
them you will please send me another 
copy. 

^^ilson. Prof. Andrew W., Jr. 

Andy at Saitsburg, Pa., seems to be 
doing some good work for Princeton as 
the following relates: 

2. Am runuinga Preparatory School. 
Prepared 12 for college last year, nine 
of whom go to Princeton. One of 
them took the Pittsburgh prize for best 
examination. Our school is considered 
a success. Although only four years

old, last year we cleared money above 
interest on investment and expenses of 
living. 

3. Am married and the happy event 
took place Aug. 22, 1889, at Indiana, 
Pa., to Bessie Gladys Sansom. 

4. Children two. Sarah Sansom 
Wilson, June 7, 1890, Indiana, Pa. 
Anna Graham Wilson, Nov. 8, 1891, 
Saltsburg, Pa. 

5. Democrat, because I believe it is 
the party of the people, is opposed in 
general to monopolies, has a better 
idea of political economy, and after all, 
principally because it had the good 
sense to nominate Grover Cleveland 
the man in American politics today. 
Dangers are perhaps ignorance a.nd 
bribery. Remedies, education, civil 
service reform and Australian ballot. 
Am a Presbyterian Elder. Have just 
returned from the Synod of Pa. 

Received the degree of Ph. D. from 
Washington and Jefferson College. 
Our school ball nine defeated every col- 
lege and school team it played, includ- 



ing Washington and Jefferson, and 
Western University. The battery will 
soon be in Princeton. 

7. Expect to attend World'sFair and 
'83's Decennial. 

8. Yes. Western, Pa. Club. 

Wilson, Charles G. 




CHARLES G. WILSON. 

Our sprinter gives the signal to his 
nimble thoughts and off they go at a 
lively an interesting rate: 

1. Rose Hill, Citrus Co., Florida, in 
which place I have resided since I left 
Princeton, except first six months, was 
then in Palatka, Fla. 

2. Have been making a living and 
an orange grove, at neither of which 
did I make a "team". Have no one to 
blame but myself however and will try 
to make a better show in the future. 

3. Have that pleasure. Jennie L. 
Kininger, Oct. 20, 1885, at Bowling 
Green, Ohio.

worth, Kausas. Both inherit tlie ami- 
able disposition of their mother, togeth- 
er with the superior good looks of their 
father, and from them both possibly 
their alertness of mind and body, at 
least these girls can be in many more 
places in a given time than is at all con- 
sistent with the genei'al welfare. 

5. Am a Prohibitionist. 1. For 
consistancy sake. I must vote as I 
pray. 2. America for Americans and 
so I am a protectionist. 8. No Free 
Silver unless adopted by the World. 4. 
Immigration should be controlled and 
regulated so as to keep out all but best 
class of immigrants. 5. Certainly be- 
lieve in prohibition as a third party 
movement. Believe the Prohibition 
party will be the dominant one within 
the next decade or two. 6. Voted for 
Bidvvell and Crantill. 7. Chief danger 
to the American people is that they are 
growing away from God and the Christ- 
ian Sabbath. The negro question is 
still a vital question no nearer solution 
now than in I860, though on different 
lines. 8. Am not able to apply any 
remedy, though 1 hope much good may 
come for the alleviation of both these 
evils thi'oujh the Prohibition party. 9. 
Presbyterian. 

6. Joined the Masons. More dust 
than glory. And the dust don't seem 
to add to my bank account either. Am 
living a quiet uneventful life down here 
among the pines, and orange groves. 
Am not even Captain or Colonel and so 
have concluded to emigrate, and stir up 
a little life. 

7. Haven't travelled except a trip to 
Colorado or the Rockies where by the 
way I blew in a little "dust" into a hole 
in the ground "called a vein" which 
hasn't panned out at all. 2. Hope to 
attend the Woi'ld's Fair and '83 Decen- 
nial. 

8. No. "Crackers" don't educate. 

9. Should like to have the Record 
with the fellows pictures. Count me 
in. 



10. See very few '83 men, in fact few 
Princeton men. 

Run onto Baldwin once in a while. 
He is doing finely at Palatka.

Providence. 

5. Independent Democrat. Favor

Cleveland's principles of tariff reform, 
(a.) The tariff is an indirect tax that 
falls chiefly upon the poor, (b.) War 
tariff in time of peace is injustice, (c.) 
The present tariff is not needed to fos- 
ter infant industries, but is an imposi- 
tion fostering monopolies. Believe in 
repeal of the Sherman act. A lie can 
never beget good though it be toldupon 
a silver dollar. Voted for Cleveland. 
Am a Baptist. 

6. Have had articles published in 
newspapers; have been elected a mem- 
near of boards, corporations, etc. 

7. Expect to go to the World's Fair. 
Am not certain that I can get to the 
Decennial Reunion. 

8. Am not a member of any Alumni 
Club. There is none near at hand. 

9. I favor omitting pictures from 
the Record. If this is done I shall take 
a copy. 

I am so far removed from the mem- 
bers of '83 that I seldom have the pleas- 
ure of seeing any of them. The last 
one with whom I had any conversation 
was the ubiquitous and experienced 
Duaue. The privilege was profitable. 

Young. Ctias. I. 

Nothing will rejoice the hearts of '83 
more as they come back to old Prince- 
ton than to see Ira enjoying his old 
time health and strength and once 
more taking up his business life. It 
seems too good to be true. He touches 
an electric button and then asks the 
Secretary to do the rest as follows: 

My dear far-too-good-natured Secre . 
tary Ed: I feel that I owe you an 
apology for my delay in answering 
your list of questions for our Decennial 
Record, but 1 hope you will accept my 
apology and answers with more alacri- 
ty than your delinquent friend and 
classmate has shown in answering 
them.

cess in moderation, and one or two 
other things known as ''knock downs" 
but I am still in the ring 

5. Am an Independent Republican. 
In regard to the "Prohibition" or 
"Third Party" movement I have to say 
that when they become a "Temperance 
Party" and I mean "Temperance" in 
its broadest application, they will have 
my vote — but not before. I was un- 
able to vote in 1892: Am a member of 
the Presbyterian church. 

6. Have written a little for publica- 
tion, but nothing of much moment. 

7. In December '91 I came to Pitts- 
burgh to take up my work as well as I 
could whei-e I left off in the spring of 
'88, and I have found no reason to re- 
gret the step. I have made occasional 
visits to Princeton, and I am looking 
forward with the greatest pleasure to 
another visit there this coming sum- 
mer. T would not miss the '83 Reunion 
if I could help it for a house and farm. 
There is too much pleasure in the re- 
collections of our "Sexennial Reunion"

to permit me to leave anything undone 
that would make possible my being with 
you in June. 

Zapf. John M. 




JOHN M. ZAPF 

This quiet and modest ex-member of 
the class, has resided in Princeton, his 
college home, and desires a voice in the 
Record, as follows: 

1. My pi-esentand permanent address 
is No. 24 Dickinson St. Princeton, N. J. 
where I have resided since graduation. 

1. Have led a retired life. 

3. 1 am not a married man, neither 
am I engaged, why this thusness I can 

not say. 

5. I am a Republican and Protection- 
ist. Do not believe in Prohibition as a 
"Third Party" movement. Voted for 
Harrison in 1893. 1 am a Presbyterian. 

7. It is doubtful if I attend the 
World's Fair, but shall be on hand at 
83's Decennial Reunion. 

8. I am not a member of any Alumni 
Club. 



9. I shall take a Class Record in ei- 
ther case. 

I hope to see all of the members of 
the Class of '83 now living, in Princeton 
in June. 

Evans, Rev. Chas. A. 

On account of sickness Evans was 
obliged to leave College and subse- 
quently enter and graduate with '84. 
He, however, was granted his diploma 
by the faculty to date back to '83, and 
desires to l)e considered a member of 
the class with which he spent three 
years, hence we insert his letter here. 
He is building up a large and pros- 
perous cluirch in the city of Roch- 





REV. CHAS. A. EVANS. 

ester. We rejoice with him in the re- 
turning strength of his wife who was 
so critically ill during the past winter. 
The class will remember that he mar- 
ried a sister of Borgmeyer. Evans re- 
cites his career thus: 

1. "Present permanent address, 297 
Mt. Hope Ave., Rochester, NY. 



—86— 



2 Was licensed by Presbytery of 
Chicago March 29th, 1886 and ordained 
to Presbyterian ministi-y Dee. 15th of 
the same year by the Presbytery of 
Detroit. At present pastor of Calvary 
Presbyterian church Rochester, N. Y. 

3. Married May 13th, 1886 to Miss 
Dena L. Borgmeyer at Rah way, N. Y. 

4. Louis Alexander Evans was boi'n 
March 12th, 1890. At present writing 
his height is 37 inches, weight 40 pounds 
"Golden Hair," dark brown eyes (like 
his mother.) Very intellectual, but 
not sedate (like his father.) Expect to 
enter him at Princeton soon. He is 
already in training for the football 
team. 

6. Was born and bred a Republican, 
but do not at present favor a high pro- 
tective tariff. A protective tariff has 
done much to increase the national 
wealth, but that wealth has been con- 
gested instead of evenly distributed. 
Most of the "infant industries" are 
able to go alone without the aid of a 
protective tariff. Under it competition 
has been abused and it is the duty of 
good government to insure free 
competition and overthrow monoply. 

I do not believe in "free silver coin- 
age." In regard to immigration, I be- 
lieve a change in the naturalization 
laws necessary. Foreigners should be 



requii'ed to remain a certain length of 
time without the right to the ballot, 
until the principles of our government 
can be instilled into their minds, as our 
own sons must wait before being vest- 
ed with the right of sufferage. I be- 
lieve the "Greary law" to be a mistake, 
as too stringent. If the bars are put 
up at one ocean they should be put up 
at the other also. Every immigrant 
must become a true American. I do 
not believe in Prohibition as a Third 
party movement. 

6. Have written no books, but have 
done some editorial work. For two 
years was principal of an academy. 
Have grubbed industriously in the dust 
and found it necessary to do some 
"blasting" among the rocks, but have 
accumulated little of "dust" or "rocks" 
and no glory whatever. 

7. Spent about a year in Europe for 
travel and study. Do not at present 
expect to attend the Columbian Expo- 
sition but may surrender at the last 
moment and go with the crowd. Hope 
to attend '83's Decennial Reunion. 

8. Not at present a member of an 
Alumni Club, but would be glad to aid 
in organizing one in Western New 
York. 

9. Must have a copy of the recoi'd. 



Non-Graduate Members-

charms:

WILLIAM H. GULICK. 

ber of '83 and had been elected Sec'y of 
same do you think he would have sus- 
tained his reputation? I feel that I owe 
you an apology for not answering your 
circular letter long before this, and 
trust that there are very few, who have 
served you the same way. 

In regard to my history since grad- 
uation, would say, that after being de- 
clared a "civil engineer" by "The John 
C. Green School of Science," and after 
having received the "all important" (?) 
"DIP., "signed in full by names, a large 
majority of which, I must confess, you 
fail to find connected with any great 
engineering feats, unknown and un- 
heard of, in the engineering world; 
with this "skin" (sheep's I believe) I ex- 
pected to get a position at once, but 
"O! what a difference in the morning." 
I think I showed it to one person, who 
informed me that a "week's work" was 
worth more to him as a recommenda- 
tion, than all the degrees Princeton col- 
lege could confer in the next twenty- 
five years. "Ye gods of w ar" — Well! I 
sent my "Dip" home, and with a letter 



of introduction from a friend of my 
family, I received a position with the 
Phoenix Iron Co., of Phoenixville, Pa., 
and have been located with them and 
the Phoenix Bridge Co. of the same 
place, almost continuously ever since. 
My business has taken me into almost 
every State and Territory in this coun- 
try, but mainly in the South and West. 
I have been brought in contact with 
many gi-aduates of Princeton and have 
I'eceived numerous courtesies at their 
hands. 

I am not taking much intei'est in pol- 
itics, have written no books, articles, 
etc., and consequently, have not cover- 
ed myself with dust or glory. 

Have joined the Masonic Fraternity, 
and numerous clubs of a moi-e social 
order. 

Was married on Feb. 8, 1893 to Miss 
C. E. Dismant of Phoenix, Pa., and have 
just returned from a two week's stay 
in St. Augustine, Florida. 

My views on Free Trade and Tariff 
would naturally be affected by my per- 
sonal interest in the Iron trade, and 
consequently would lean toward a high 
prc^tective tariff for all home industries. 
I believe and practice temperance in all 
things, but never exj)ect prohibition or 
the Prohibition party to amount to any- 
thing in this country. In fact I think 
they are gi*owing weaker every year. 

I consider the. "Almighty Dollai'" in 
the hands of our politicans, one of the 
greatest dangers threatening our na 
tion. 

In conclusion let me commend our 
long-suffering Secretary for his noble 
effort in behalf of a suitable history of 
'83. 

Gulick, ^^f. R. 

No report since Triennial. 

Hardcastle, A. 

Hardy left the class and entered '85 
later but did not graduate. He is at 
Goldsboro, Md. practicing medicine. 



Ireland, Gilbert W. 

Is perhaps still herding cattle iu Tex- 
as, but we have not heard recently. 

Kir by, William B. 

Our newspaper member from Jersey, 
the State where the bookiiiakers are 
said to run the Legislature, and the 
race track magnates to subsidize the 
press, furnishes his own copy: — Kirby 
has shown himself one of the most loyal 
and interested of the Ex-members of 
'83. 

"My life in the last ten years has 
been uneventful so far as matters of in- 
terest to others are concerned. A 
lengthy sketch of it would be found 
flat, stale and unprofitable. I have for 
some years been city editor of the 
Bridgeton Evening News and corres- 
pondent for outside papers, daily at my 
post and endeavoring to disehai'ge my 
duties as faithfuly as possible. Have 
rejjorted weddings, bad sermons, wres- 
tled with editorials, investigated mur- 
ders, gunned for "advs." and covered 
pretty much evei-ythiug connected with 
the daily routine of a newspaper in a 
thriving town of 13,000 inhabitants. 

Was for two years City Clerk. Am a 
vestryman of St. Andrew's Protestant 
Episcopal church and a member of the 
"boy choir." 

Three little fairies grace my home, 
but none of them can vote the Demo- 
cratic ticket. Daughter No. 1 is Jennie 
Bowen Kirby, born iu February, 1888; 
No. 2, Marguerite Lee Kirby, born in 
July, 1890; No. 3, Marie Louise Kirby, 
born in October, 1891. I believe strong- 
ly in Native Americans, am not struck 
on immigration. In fact, I think it the 
greatest evil of our country to-day. 

Wishing the Secretary all manner of 
success with his important and ai'duous 
task, I am, etc. 

Kribbs, C. E. 

No report. Perhaps at Edenburg, Pa. 



Lee, W. H. C. 

Lee was practicing medicine at Boon- 
ton, N. J., when last heard from. 

Lynde, Chas. l^^esley. 

It is strange that Lynde does not an- 
swer from Trenton, N. J. 



Marks, A. W. 

Died Sept. 17. 1880. He was one of 
the victims of the typho-malaria epid- 
emic that broke up the end of our 
freshman year. 



McClure, Samuel \V. 

A full report of McClure in the Sexen- 
nial Record. He was then in Law iu 
Vilas, Col. 



Mitchell, Norman E. 

Mitchell pokes his head out of a Feb- 
ruai'y blizzard long enough to say: 

"I left Princeton five years ago and 
have resided at Sheldon, N. Dak., ever 
since. This is my address for the pi'es- 
ent. 

Took a trip back east during the fall 
of '91, and witnessed all the football 
games in which Princeton took part. I 
am not married, and have no present 
intention of becoming a Benedict. 

Voted the straight Republican ticket 
last fall, and agree with that party on 
all questions of which it is the distinc- 
tive champion." And at this point like 
the party which he supports, he got 
snowed under. 

Moffatt, Alexander. 

All the Class remember with pleasure 
the days of Freshman year when Alex, 
and Will Moffatt were with us. Even 
then both gave promise of the valuable 
athletic service they would render the 
college, and we have all been grateful to 



-90— 



Alex, for what he did and is still doing 
for the cause of manly, vigorous athletics 
both in and out of college. As a Foot 
Ball Enthusiast, Aleck is "still ther«." 
His addi-ess is 120 Broadway, N. Y., 
where he is in business.- 

Moffatt, 'Wm. D. 

"Billy" has made strong and steady 
progess in the book business and we be- 
lieve is still with Chas. Scribner & Sons 
in N. Y. in charge of one of the depart- 
ments and doing well. 

Noble, Rev. Wm. B. 

Noble left us in 1880, entered Har- 
vard and later became an Episcopal 
clergyman and is now preaching. He 
gave promise of strong mental life and 
we prophesy for him a high phice in the 
ranks of the Church. 

Peace, Phil. P. 

Address is care of Philadelphia Club, 
Philadelphia, Pa. 



Pennington, Francis. 

Was also cut off by fever during fresh 
man year and died on June 6, 1880. 

For complete report see Sexennial 
Record. 



Porter, N. W. 

No report. 

Proctor, W^illiam Cooper*t 

Proc has resided in Cincinnati since 
leaving college, and expects to remain 
there. He is a member of the well- 
known firm of Proctor & Gamble, large 
manufacturers of soaps, candles, oils 
and glycerine. Reports progress in 
collecting together some of the goods 
of this world. He made a good resolu- 
tion last year and' proceeded to carry it 
oat, by marrying on New Year's day. 



1889, Miss Jane Eliza Johnson, at Glen- 
dale, Ohio. P. S. No message from 
Proctor since the above, but he a loyal 
true son of '83 and retains a lively 
interest. 



Rainsford. John C 

Was the first one of our class to be 
taken from us by death. After a short 
illness with the fever he died on June 
2, 1890. 

Richardson, C. P. 



-.. \ 




C. p. RICHAEDSON. 

Our Cresent City Classmate, (71 
Baronne St. New Orleans) in his en- 
counter with fortune, seems to have 
gotten it about where John L. Sullivan 
did a few months ago, in the same 
locality. He writes; 

I regret to have to say I cannot re- 
port for myself as flatteringly as I did 
for the Sexennial, but even if truth is 
sometimes harsh it is no sin. 

1 am still single — still sticking to the 



—91- 



opinion that "milk is too cheap to buy 
a cow," besides my inability to provide 
for one as I should desire. I have been 
vei-y unfortunate since my last repoi-t. 
At that time I was buoyant with hopes, 
and with large, promising, well con- 
considered investments. Since that 
time I have been besieged with one 
continual succession of disappointments. 
I am putting on the best smile possible, 
keeping cheerful and patiently await- 
ing the turning of the tide, ever assur- 
ing myself of the truthfulness of the 
old adage '"Tis a long lane which has 
no tui-ns." I am hopeful, with the 
event of Cleveland's election that the 
stagnation of business and investments 
in the Southern states will soon be 
washed away and a revived buoyancy 
follow. Beyo .d doubt we have in these 
Southern states the Elysium of this 
country — rich in its natural resources 
and fertile fields, and must eventually 
be the most prospei'ous of all sections 
so while I am now down and being 
thumped severely, with the probable 
prosperity of the country I trust to re- 
cover my losses. However this may 
be, my address is at the head of this 
sheet, and there a warm, hearty shake 
of the hand awaits every member of 
the Class of '83 who may visit this 
Congenial but dirty old City!. 

As to politics I have that of my 
country. All good citizens with us 
vote democratic ticket straight, even to 
the bitter republicans who come 
amongst us. I believe in high licensed 
liquor privileges, and while a good 
democrat as above stated, believe in 
Tariff and Protection — and bounty on 
sugar (only regretting it is not on cot- 
ton as well). 

Robeson, J. E. 

No report. Does any one know of 
his whereabouts. 

Rogers, T. B. 

Tim is farming and his address is 
Bear Station, Del. 



Rogers, Wm- R- 

Graduated with '84 and took a post 
graduate in chemistry. Has since died. 

Shaw, W. McD. 

Shaw left us to "step higher," skipped 
a year and took his "Dip" with '82. 

Shoemaker, Samuel M.* 

No classmate ever gave another a 
more royal welcome and "good" time 
than Sam gave your Secretary in April 
'91 while he was on a trip south. His 
delightful home in Baltimore seems 
open ^to his old College friends, and 
serves to emphasize the depths of these 
early formed friendships. He was 
married at Baltimore to Miss Helen 
Whiteridge, and a most attractive little 
girl adds sunshine to their home. Sam 
is occupied with a large estate just out 
of Baltimore. We regret we have no 
direct recent message from him. 

Steele, H. F. 

No Report. He was a special with us 
in Freshman year only. 

Vail, J F. 

No report. 

Wade, Benj. Franklin 

No report. 

Way* Geo. P. 

From no one among the Ex-Members 
of '83 has the Secretary had more de- 
lightful letters, expressive of personal 
and class interest, than from Way. 
We regret however that we cannot 
advise the class of his present where- 
abouts, as he last wrote from Europe. 
He has spent much of his time in 
Europe whei'e he has ti'aveled for 
health and recreation. Geo. was mar- 
ried to Miss Louisa Angele Merriam at 
New York May 19, 1885. His latest 



—92— 




T^elch, Wm. 

We ai'e rejoiced to receive at last 
some tidings of "Dominie" Welch. A 
classmate writes he met him at Tocoma, 
Wash, where he is practicing '-law for 
a profession" and love for fuller de- 
velopement of himself, i. e. He is mar- 
ried. Write ns Welch. 

Weyer, W. Otto. 

The Secretar3' hns met Weyer several 
times in Buffalo, where he is pi'acticing 
law and having sncccss. A full report 
of his doings it^ found in the last Record. 

Wilcox, Samuel D. 

'No report from our "dear liltlc curl 3' 
lieadcd hrunt-ite, who wa.- with u.s only 
long enough to impress upon us his 
short neat personality." 



GEO. P. W^AY. 



address known to us is Care Drexel, 
Harjes & Co. Paris, France. On Oct. 
12, 1887, Robt. W. M. Way made his 
debut.

Minutes of First Reunion, June 18, 1884. 

As no arrangements had been made 
by the class officers, Russell Moore kind- 
ly volunteered to do the work, and 
thanks to his active efforts the class sat 
down June 16 at 10 p. m. to a very 
good supper at the University Hotel. 
Twenty-eight of the class responded at 
Roll call. Mr. James S. Harlan was 
called to the chair and acted as Toast 
Master. At 2 a. m. the class of '81 
came in a body to greet us, and cheers 
were exchanged, after which Dave 
Haines spoke to us in behalf of '81. 
After a walk "around the Triangle," 
the Old Campus heard once more "the 
music of our tread," and around the 
Old Cannon, we called for the absent 
members and for "Frank Wood's Base- 
Bawl Bat." The following members of 
'83 were present: Bryant, Bratton, 
Bedle, Grouse, Colt, Carman, W. D. 
Green, W. H. Gulick, Hewitt, Harlan, 
Garner, Libbey, Moore, Morgan, Mur- 
doch, McKnight, Parmly, Perrine, 
Riggs, Royle, Rudd, Richmond, Taber, 
Taylor, Ward, Wadleigh, White, 
Woods. Mitchell, Paden, Park, Towle 
came for Commencement Day, June 17, 
1884. 

Minutes of Triennial Reunion, June 22, 1886. 

Forty-three members of the class 
were loyal and interested enough to re- 
turn to Old Nassau to "reminise," and 
a most delightful reunion was had. 
University Hall was the only available 
place and was secured, the conditions 
being that no liquors be served, and 
hence a "dry" supper. However, near- 
ly everyone declared it a great success 
and a most honorable record for '8f5. 
The Sexennial Reunion gave each one 
who was present at both a chance for 
comparison. The latter was far from 
a dry one. Among those who attended 
was Buck Antrim. He came to tell us 
of the value of Dad's course in logic 
and his high grade enabled him in later 



years to stand high among the legal 
lights of Southern Jersey. Buck also 
enjoyed an old time game of ball. 
Bedle revealed to the class the secrets 
of Wall street. Bryant, Carman and 
Carter quietly enjoyed things. Grouse, 
of course, was right in his element, and 
Haukins did a rushing business in se- 
gai's and "licorice water." Day was 
larger than life, and was often found 
knocking at 2 s. w. in company with 
Richie, Ward and Yard and other old 
members of the S. S. S. Dickinson 
and Fell explained how they had be- 
come great in three years. George 
Edwards related incidents of Seminary 
spi'ees in which Finney, Earner, Rich- 
mond and Rudd played a prominent 
part. In another group might have 
been found Field, Fisher, McKnight, 
Rieman, Riggs, Roberts and Wadleigh 
enjoying the old campus and benches 
in front of North. Preach Hawes was 
the centre of an interested group listen- 
ing to how he stumped Ohio for the 
Prohibition ticket, with Rusty Moore 
and George Howell as his backers. 
Hewitt, Hodge, Jones, Keller and 
Woods (when he wasn't with Charlie 
Young) looked closely after the Whig 
Hall goat. Parmly, Perrine, Phillips, 
Prescott and Wilson competed the list 
of the regular members present. It 
was also pleasant to see the following 
ex '83 men: Barclay, Fleming, Proctor 
and Richardson. As the fellows tiled 
into the dining-room the secretary had 
the cop3' of the Triennial Record ready. 
Before the menu was discussed, the 
following business was transacted: 
Andi'ew W. Wilson was elected class 
president in place of James P. Flint, 
resigned. Resignation of W. D. Green, 
as class secretary, was accepted, and 
Edward Huntting Rudd, who had serv- 
ed the c'ass two years as temporary 
secretary, was elected permanently to 
that office. The president-elect then 
invited Otto Grouse to act as Toast 
Master, which he did in his well-known 



-99- 



style. Rev. Duck Karner asked the 
blessing. It was voted not to award 
the Class Cnp until June, 1893, at the 
Decennial Reunion. That member 
of '83 who has the oldest living son is 
to receive the silver cup, it being un- 
derstood that the boy be present if pos- 
sible at the Reunion. During the stay 
in Princeton, Rose, the Princeton 
photographer, took the picture of the 
class, and this one and the Sexennial 
group may be ordered of him at any 
time at $1 00 each. The class adjourn- 
ed to meet in Princeton, June, 1889. 

Minutes of Saxennial Reunion, June 18, '89 

Of the thirty members who attended 
the Sexennial, twenty-two were at the 
Triennial. It is hoped the members 
will increase instead of decrease and 
that at the Decennial at least 75 men 
will be present. Tuesday being the 
day for the alumni dinner, the cla s 
supper was arranged for this date. 
The Sexennial supper was a great suc- 
cess. About 7:30 the fellows gathered 
at Carls' Restaurant in the same room 
in which Mrs. Dohm's club used to 
meet, and Duck Karner's club felt 
thoroughly at home._ After the bless- 
ing had been asked by Rev. Frank 
Woods' Crouse acting as toast master 
and president pro. tem. called for 
matters of business. The Secretary 
read the minutes of the Triennial Re- 
union, with occasional comments on 
the whereabouts of the members of the 
class. Frank C. Roberts was elected 
class treasurer. The following were 
elected as the memorial committee to 
suggest and select a suitable gift for 
the college at our Decennial Reunion 
in June, 1893: Alexander, Crouse, 
Hodge, Roberts and 'Wanamaker, with 
Wilson and Rudd as members ex-ollicio, 
making a committee of seven Com- 
munications regretting their aljsence 
were received froniHarriman, Hoskins, 
Parmly, ''Andy" Wilson and several 
others. The dinner itself was one of 



the best ever served a class in Prince- 
ton, the decorations were exquisite and 
dainty, the service excellent and the 
speeches bright. 

After the coffee was reached and the 
cigars were lit, the fellows began to 
effervesce. Hedge spoke on '83's absent 
members, ' making especial and beauti- 
ful reference to the life and death of 
Bob McKnight, who was cheerful and 
brave to the last." Petty proved him- 
self to be an A. No. 1 stump speaker, as 
he replied for "83's politics." Jim 
Harlan spoke for '"83 in law." Rusty 
Moore responded to the toast — well, 
call his subject "Miscellaneous," then 
you could truthfully say he "stuck to 
his text." As a pleasant diversion it 
had been decided by the Senior Class 
Glee Club to give a silver cup to the 
first boy born to one of their members. 
A. C. Ward sprung it on them to the 
tune of "double entry" and on May 8, 
1889, twin boys came to his home. On 
behalf of the S. S. S., Richmond pre- 
sented two silver cups to the lads. 
Ward and Reward, and Acey respond- 
ed in a way becoming a proud dad. 
(.Jollege songs were intei'spersed 
through the evening and before ad 
journing the following were noted as 
present: Alexander, Bryant, Carter, 
Crouse, Day, Dickinson, Fell, Harlan, 
Hawes, Hodge, Howell, Kellar, Moore 
Murdoch, Osborn, Petty, Phillips, Pres- 
cott, Richmond, Rieman, Riggs, 
Roberts, Rudd, Rutan, SUauklin, Smy- 
ser, Spier, Wadleigh, Ward, Woods 
and Yard. 

Notes on Informal Reunion June 13, 1892- 

A few of the class had a pleasant 
dinner Monday evening June 13, 1892. 
Plans for the Decennial were discussed, 
the Secretary was instructed to have 
the "Record" ready for Decennial Re- 
union. Committees and Sub-Com- 
mitees wert; appointed in connection 
with the Class Memorial and the Re- 
union June 13, 1893. As the Seci'etary

was unable to be present and only a 
meagre report was sent him on de- 
tached slips by the Class President this 
"minute" is rather incomplete. 

Class Ode of 83. 

June 18, 1883. 

words by c. v. thompson, music by 

charles i. young. 

A song to greet the morning! 

The woven shadows gray, 
The golden mists of dawning 

Roll back and it is day. 
And boyhoods' dreams and pleasures 

And all that fancy rears — 
Shrink back before the measures 

Of the diviner years. 

CHORUS. 

Farewell— no more together 

Are battles fought and won — 
We pai't, and none knows whither 

The swift years bear him on. 
Yet tho' we part and sever, 

Are we not one forever, 
All one in love for old Nassau, 

All one in eighty- three! 

Life comes to each one bringing 

Her gifts of love and faith, 
Of sorrow, and of singing. 

Of tears and peace, and death 
With lips that mock and flatter, 

With garlands for the brow, 
With hands that hold and scatter, 

She stands before us now.—Cno. 

Forth ! woo her as a lover 

Woos at his lady's knee, 
Until she blesfs thee over 

All that thy prayers may be. 
The brave have ever won her, 

The true have known her best, 
She giveth gold and honor 

Still to the worthiest. — Cho. 

And when the years made holy 
With battles lost and won, 

Look wearily and slowly 
Unto the setting sun. 



Our hearts shall turn, my brother, 
Like pilgrims worn and gray 

Back to the sacred Mecca — 
The shrine we leave to-day! 

CHORUS. 

Farewell! our Alma Mater — 

Our love, our hopes — to thee — 
The dawning day shall scatter 

Thy sons of Eigty-three. 
Yet, Brothers, though we sever, 

Still are we one forever — 
All one in love for Old Nassau, 

All one in Eighty-three.

Tune — Annie Lisle. Ab. 

Comrades, now with joy returning 

To old Nassau's pi-aise. 
Hearts with warm devotion burning, 

Loyal songs shall raise. 
Sing her ancient fame and splendor, 

Sing both loud and free. 
To our glorious Alma Mater, 

To old '83. 

CHORUS. 

Voices blending, praise ascending. 

Sing both loud and free, 
To our glorious Alma Mater, 

To old '83. 

Treasures we have sought to borrow 

From the rolling years, 
Mid their weight of joy and sorrow. 

Mid their gloomy fears. 
At thy feet our wreaths we'll scatter, 

Dedicate to thee 
All our laurels, Alma Mater, 

And to '83.— Cho. 

Grief has spread her shadow o'er us, 

Mourn we then to-day 
Those whose memory blight before us, 

Ne'er shall fade away. 
But with hearts united closer 

Firm and true stand we.

Health we pledge to Alma Mater, 
Health to '83.

Loyal ever, failing uever, 
Firm aud true stand we;

We are one forever. 

But to-night no care shall blight,

Long life to '83, my boys, 

Long life to '83. 
We'll pledge a glass to the clear old 
class. 

Long life to '83. 

'83' s Decennial Memorial Gift to Princeton 
College- 

In order that the class may have in 
this permanent form the beginning' re- 
garding our class gift to the college, 
your secretary inserts the following 
letters issued by the Memorial Com- 
mittee: 

New Yokk, June 15th, 1892. 

To the members of the class of eighty- 
three: — The Memorial Committee elect- 
ed at the Sexennial of our class was in- 
structed to select a memorial gift to be 
given to the college at our Decennial 
Reunion, and was directed to raise the 
necessary funds. They were given full 
power i;i the premises, including the 
power to add to their numbers. 

After a considerable amount of cor- 
respondence and consultation with 
various members of the class, a very 
full and representative meeting of the 
original members of the committee was 
held in this city the night before the 
Thanksgiving game last fall, 1892. 

The committee at that meeting at 
once set about enlarging itself in order 
that all sections of the country and all 
the various intei'ests in the class, both 
among the graduates and those who are 
memVjers of '83. but who are not gradu- 
ates, might be fully represented, and 
in order that every member of the class 
might be within the reach of a member 
of the committee. 

The original committee, as appears 
by the Sexennial Record, consisted of 
Alexander, Crouse, Hodge, Roberts, 
Rudd, Wanamaker and Wilson. The 
resignation of Wanamaker, occasioned 
by necessity and regretfully tendered 
and accepted, had caused a vacancy 



which had been filled pi-evious to the 
Thanksgiving meeting by the election 
of Bryant. 

The new members of our little con- 
gress, representing constituencies all 
over the country, elected at the last 
mentioned meeting, are Bratton of 
Maryland, Day of Ohio, Jones of Texas, 
Harlan of Chicago, Harriman of 
New York, Field of New Jersey and 
Richardson of Louisiana. These mem- 
bers have each of them since accepted 
the office of committeeman and its 
duties. Alexander was elected chair- 
man; Roberts treasurer; and Crouse 
secretary. Alexander, at a subsequent 
meeting, was compelled to tender his 
resignation owing to ill health, and 
Bryant was elected chairman in his 
place. 

The Memorial of the Class of '83 is to 
be a Section in the College Library de- 
voted to the subject of Constitutional 
History, Political Science and Juris- 
prudence, to be known as ' "THE 
CLASS OF 'S3 LIBRARY OF POLITI- 
CAL SCIENCE AND JURISPRU- 
DENCE. 

It needs but a few words to show 
that this (1) fills a need of Princeton 
University, (2) will be popular with 
our class and the college, (3) can be 
purchased and endowed with whatever 
sum the class places at our command, 
(4) is a permanent gift, and (5) is an 
eminently appropi-iirte one for our 
class to make. 

A collection of works upon the sub- 
ject suggested is the most appropriate 
gift '83 could give. Our class gave the 
"Lyman H. Atwater Prize in Political 
Science." She now proposes to give 
necessary tools to her prizemen 

The foundation of such _a Library 
may possibly (and in the opinion of 
some in authority, will probably) be 
an important step towards the estab- 
lishment of other post-graduate courses 
in Constitutional History, Political 
Science and Jurisprudence, and finally 



—103- 



of a Law School, under the direction 
of that most able and popular Professor 
— Woodrow Wilson. 

Our class will be able to put into the 
hands of the students of Princeton 
nearly all the standard books of value 
in the English language upon this sub- 
ject, aud to keep them fairly supplied 
in future, if we are able to raise $10,- 
000, and to approximately reach the 

same result with a smaller sum. 
******* 

Arrangement has already been made 
for the purchase of between 1,000 and 
1,500 volumes, as the nucleus of the 
'83 library. Each book will be stamp- 
ed on the back and insidj with a design 
setting forth the name of the Class, &c. 
Separate alcoves will be assigned to 
the collections. A handsome wrought 
iron grille; with a suitable inscription, 
will be hung from the balcony in the 
library immediately in front of the as- 
signed alcoves. 

President Pattou, the Faculty and 
the Librarian, Mr. Richardson, are all 
greatly interested in our gift, and are 
doing everything in their power to for- 
ward its interests. The "Princeton- 
ian" for March 2d, 1893, contains the 
following editorial: 

"The proposition of the Class of '83 
to found and endow a Library of Politi- 
cal Science and Jurisprudence as their 
decennial class memorial is one that is 
a source of untold gratification to the 
undergraduates. While our library is 
rich in the departments of mathemati- 
cal and mental science, it is, on the 
other hand, proportionately weak in 
other branches, and it is one of these 
branches the Class of '83 proposes to 
make one of the best. The lack of ref- 
erence works in the department of 
political science and jurisprudence has 
been felt for a long time, without much 
hope of an appreciable addition. This 
class has generously offered to till this 
want, and in doing so they may be sure 
that their effoi'ts will not be misplaced. 



They could not have decided upon a 
gift which would have been more ac- 
ceptable or upon one which would be a 
means of greater benefit to the college. 
It is doubly pleasing to learn that a 
lai'ger number of volumes are to be 
placed on the shelves immediately, and 
that access will soon be given to them. 
This gift will be one more add- 
ed to those given heretofore as memo- 
rials, all of which are testimonials of 
the great interest taken by the alumni 
in the welfare of their alma mater." 
******* 

The presentation of the Memorial 
will be made June 13, 1893.
